Lung cancer has been the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in China in recent decades. Positron emission tomography-computer tomography (PET/CT) has been established in the diagnosis of lung cancer. 18F-FDG is the most widely used PET tracer in foci diagnosis, tumor staging, treatment planning, and prognosis assessment by monitoring abnormally ...

ABSTRACT Background and Purpose Over the past decades, whole‐body PET‐CT scanning has undergone considerable innovation, with a considerable increase in clinical indications becoming a key diagnostic imaging method. Subsequently PET is contributing to the growth in imaging incidentaloma rates, including those of the brain, a critical functional tissue.

A primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) of the thoraco-abdominal region is one of a group of small round cell tumors usually found in children and young adults, originally described by Askin et al. Most cases arise in the soft-tissues of the thorax, but may rarely occur within the lung with the symptoms of chest wall pain, pleural effusion and dyspnea.
