Table 2. 18F-FSPG and 18F-FDG evaluation of primary lesion.

IPNs (7-30mm) Mass (>30mm)
Malignant (N = 12) Benign (N = 9) Malignant (N = 5)
18 F-FDG
    Positive–no. (%) 7 (58) 2 (22) 5 (100)
    Negative–no. (%) 5 (42) 7 (78) 0
    SUVmax, Median (IQR) 2.2 (1.6–4.3) 1.4 (0.7–1.8) 11.3 (10.1–17.1)
18 F-FSPG
    Positive–no. (%) 9 (75) 3 (33) 5 (100)
    Negative–no. (%) 3 (25) 6 (67) 0
    SUVmax, Median (IQR) 1.2 (1–1.7) 0.7 (0.4–1.0) 8.5 (6.7–8.8)

SUVmax–Maximum standardized uptake value

18F-FSPG SUVmax >1 and 18F-FDG SUVmax >2 defines a positive result
