Abstract

Purpose To evaluate the standardized uptake value (SUV) of 2-[fluorine-18]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) at positron emission tomography (PET) in the differentiation of benign from malignant bone lesions.Materials and methods Fifty-two (19 malignant, 33 benign) primary bone lesions were examined wit...
