Pleural Uptake Patterns in (F18)Fluorodeoxyglucose-Positron Emission Tomography (FDG-PET) Scans Improve the Identification of Malignant Pleural Effusions

Background: The confirmation of malignant pleural effusions (MPE) requires an invasive procedure. Diagnosis can be difficult and may require repeated thoracentesis or biopsies. (F18)Fluorodeoxyglucose-Positron Emission Tomography (FDG-PET) can characterize the extent of malignant involvement in area...
