Major advances in diagnostic imaging of the human body have been made in recent years. Positron emission tomography, a technique founded on advances in radiopharmaceuticals and radionuclide imaging apparatus, permits imaging regional metabolism, metabolite distribution, and flow. Thus far, its major
## Abstract Positron emission tomography (PET) using 18Fβ2βdeoxyβDβglucose, a Dβglucose analog labeled with fluorineβ18, complements conventional radiologic assessment in the evaluation of patients with nonsmallβcell lung cancer (NSCLC). PET is being routinely used to improve the detection of nodal
