Description

Highlights: • CT histogram and SUVmax analysis can differentiate solid NSCLCs. • Parameters from CT histograms, particularly kurtosis, are correlated with SUV. • FDG-PET/CT plus respiratory gating strengthened the diagnosis ability. - Abstract: PurposeTo assess the ability of parameters derived from computed tomography (CT) histograms and the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of 18F-fludeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/CT (FDG-PET/CT) images to distinguish solid lung adenocarcinomas from squamous cell carcinomas and to determine if these parameters are correlated.
