Increased x-ray attenuation in malignant vs. benign mediastinal nodes in an orthotopic model of lung cancer

PURPOSEStaging of lung cancer is typically performed with fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography-computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT); however, false positive PET scans can occur due to inflammatory disease.
