Pleural Uptake Patterns in <sup>F18</sup>Fluorodeoxyglucose-Positron Emission Tomography (FDG-PET) Scans Improve the Identification of Malignant Pleural Effusions

Background: The confirmation of malignant pleural effusions (MPE) requires an invasive procedure. Diagnosis can be difficult and may require repeated thoracentesis or biopsies. <sup>F18</sup>Fluorodeoxyglucose-Positron Emission Tomography (FDG-PET) can characterize the extent of malignan...
