Abstract

In cases where standardized maximum uptake (SUVmax) values in positron emission tomography (PET-CT) were not sufficient to differentiate mediastinal lymphadenopathy and masses from malignant or benign, the contribution of Hounsfield unit (HU) values in thorax computed tomography to the diagnosis was evaluated.
