“…The accuracy of FDG-PET in small pulmonary lesions is unreliable owing to partial volume effects, which reduce the perceived uptake in the lesion [7]. Obtaining accurate SUVs in small pulmonary lesions by correcting for lesion size is important because 15% of malignant nodules are less than 1 cm in diameter and 42% are less than 2 cm in diameter [8]. The partial volume effect becomes significant for lesions less than 2 cm [9].…”

“…The characterization of solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs) is important, because SPNs have a 30-40% chance of being malignant [1,2]. Morphological evaluation is helpful to differentiate benign and malignant nodules when they have typical benign or malignant features, but there is a considerable overlap between benign and malignant nodules in terms of morphological presentation in many cases [3].…”

“…Tradicionalmente se ha definido como "nódu-lo" a lesiones menores de 3 cm en diámetro; lesiones mayores son clasificadas como "masas" pulmonares, las que tienen mayor riesgo de ser malignas 17,18 .…”

“…La incidencia de lesiones malignas varía sustancialmente entre las distintas series, con un rango de menos del 5% hasta un 80%, con un promedio de un 50% [18][19][20] . La explicación para esta gran variabilidad de resultados esta dada por diversidad de los grupos etarios estudiados -poblaciones de mayor edad tienen mayor riesgo de tener lesiones malignas-y la metodología empleada en su detección (radiografía, TC) 6 …”
