A Pilot Study of Texture Analysis of Primary Tumor [ 18 F]FDG Uptake to Predict Recurrence in Surgically Treated Patients with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Purpose To examine whether the heterogeneous texture parameters in primary tumor can predict prognosis of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) received surgery after 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose ([18F]FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/X-ray computed tomography (CT).
