The size of metastatic foci and lymph nodes yielding false-negative and false-positive lymph node staging with positron emission tomography in patients with lung cancer Hiroaki Nomori, MD, PhD, Kenichi Watanabe, MD, Takashi Ohtsuka, MD, Tsuguo Naruke, MD, PhD, Keiichi Suemasu, MD, PhD, Kimiichi Uno, MD, PhD The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery Volume 127, Issue 4, Pages (April 2004) DOI: /j.jtcvs

Figure 1 Receiver operating characteristic curve and contrast ratio (CR) value for diagnosing lymph node metastasis. The highest activities in the lymph node ROI (L) and in the cerebellum ROI (C) were measured. The CR was calculated by L/C in each lymph node station as an index of FDG uptake.
