Fig. 1.

Graph shows receiver operating characteristic curves for resectability. (A) There is no difference of receiver operating characteristic curves between ¹⁸F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography (dashed curve) and computed tomography (solid curve) for resectability with all 53 patients. (B) Receiver operating characteristic curves of ¹⁸F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography and computed tomography (dashed curve) is better than those of computed tomography (solid curve) for resectability with 26 patients who underwent surgical resection.
