The Role of Nuclear Medicine in The Diagnosis and Management of Solitary Pulmonary Nodules

  Solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) is a frequent finding on the chest x-ray and computed tomography. Nuclear medicine techniques play an important role in the diagnosis and management of SPN. In the current review, we briefly will explain the different nuclear medicine modalities in this regard inclu...
