“…[18,19] Another recent approach is the additional inspiration CT application which becomes a preferable method in routine practice of many centers. [20] Visual comparison with mediastinal blood pool activity with activity of the lesion is a standard approach [21,22] and SUV max values above 2.5 are accepted as a malignancy, that is the reason why we used this cut-off value. Respiratory gated imaging has also improved the detectability of the SPNs particularly in small lesions.…”
