1 Clinical Value of Fluorodeoxyglucose-Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography in Differentiation of Malignant Mesothelioma from Asbestos-Related Benign Pleural Disease: An Observational Pilot Study  Huseyin Yildirim, MD, Muzaffer Metintas, MD, Emre Entok, MD, Guntulu Ak, MD, Ilknur Ak, MD, Emine Dundar, MD, Sinan Erginel, MD  Journal of Thoracic Oncology  Volume 4, Issue 12, Pages (December 2009) DOI: /JTO.0b013e3181c0a7ff Copyright © 2009 International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer Terms and Conditions

2 FIGURE 1 In patients with malignant mesothelioma, transverse FDG imaging revealed extensive pleural involvement of the right pleura with a maximal standardized uptake value of 6.25 (A, top). In a case of a benign pleural lesion, PET imaging revealed an absence of FDG uptake within the pleura, and this image suggests the benign nature of this lesion (B, bottom).
