Abstract

¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography is integral to the staging of lung cancer. We describe the combined use of diagnostic preoperative ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography, intraoperative ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose handheld gamma probe detection, and immediate postoperative ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography patient and specimen imaging for improved staging and determination of adequacy of mediastinal lymph node dissection.
