1 PET Imaging in Patients with Coal Workers Pneumoconiosis and Suspected Malignancy 
Matthew Reichert, MD, Eric S. Bensadoun, MD  Journal of Thoracic Oncology  Volume 4, Issue 5, Pages (May 2009) DOI: /JTO.0b013e31819d4778 Copyright © 2009 International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer Terms and Conditions

2 FIGURE 1 Case 1, (left panel) computed tomography (CT) scan showing a 1.3 cm nodule in the right upper lobe. (Right panel), The corresponding positron emission tomography (PET) axial view shows a hypermetabolic lesion (arrow) with an standardized uptake value (SUV) of 4.0. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) biopsy revealed anthracosilicotic nodules.

3 FIGURE 2 Case 3, (left panel) computed tomography (CT) scan showing a 1.1 cm nodule in the right upper lobe. (Right panel) The corresponding positron emission tomography (PET) axial view shows a hypermetabolic lesion (arrow) with an standardized uptake value (SUV) of 5.3. Core needle biopsy revealed anthracosilicosis without evidence of malignancy.
