Role of <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT Radiomics Features in the Differential Diagnosis of Solitary Pulmonary Nodules: Diagnostic Accuracy and Comparison between Two Different PET/CT Scanners
The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the ability of 18 fluorine-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/CT (<sup>18</sup>F-FDG-PET/CT) metrics and radiomics features (RFs) in predicting the final diagnosis of solitary pulmonary nodules (SPN). We retrospectively...
