Résumé

Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) PET/computed tomography (CT) is a reliable imaging modality for the diagnosis of malignant lung nodules and to assess the latter's prognosis. However, physiological respiratory motion deteriorates PET images and thus decreases the technique's diagnostic and prognostic values. This issue can be overcome by applying respiratory gating to the F-FDG PET/CT acquisitions.
