摘要
In clinical pneumology there is an established role in nuclear medicine for positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) using 18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18-FDG). It is frequently applied for staging and restaging of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and shows recognized benefits for patients as a non-invasive method for whole body staging. Further indications are the assessment of dignity and differentiation of suspicious lung nodules as well as in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) to confirm limited disease if a curative approach is still intended. Conventional nuclear medicine techniques of interest in pneumology include lung perfusion and ventilation diagnostic methods as well as bone scintigraphy. Lung perfusion studies are used to detect pulmonary embolisms and to assess postoperative lung function in correlation to preoperative forced expiratory volume (FEV1). Bone scintigraphy is needed as the basic diagnostic investigation to detect or rule out and monitor therapy control of skeletal metastases. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
