PET/CT features discriminate risk of metastasis among single-bone FDG lesions detected in newly diagnosed non-small-cell lung cancer patients

ConclusionCombining bone lesion and lung tumor PET/CT features can help stratify risk of bone metastasis in these patients.Key Points•In NSCLC with a single-bone FDG lesion, lesion SUVmaxis useful for differential diagnosis.•CT features of the single-bone FDG lesions provide additional diagnostic value.•High NSCLC SUVmax, greater T stage, and FDG positive nodes also favor metastasis.
