| Research Abstract |
The nucleoside analogue FLT with PET has been introduced for imaging cell proliferation. The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical value of F-18 FLT PET in patients who suspected lung tumors on CT scan or chest X-ray, and to compare the uptake of F-18 FLT and F-18 FDG. Our experience demonstrates that F-18 FDG PET shows higher sensitivity than F-18 FLT PET for depiction of lung cancer, however, F-18 FLT PET shows higher specificity than F-18 FDG PET. F-18 FLT PET shows better specificity for lymph node staging than F-18 FDG PET. F-18 FLT PET is not sensitive than F-18 FDG PET for detection of distant metastasis. Follow-up F-18 FLT PET may be helpful for monitoring therapeutic assessment.
