Purpose. To establish an 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT)\nmathematical prediction model to improve the diagnosis of solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs). Materials and Methods. We\nretrospectively reviewed 177 consecutive patients who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT for evaluation of SPNs. The mathematical\nmodel was established by logistic regression analysis. The diagnostic capabilities of the model were calculated, and the areas under\nthe receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were compared withMayo andVA model. Results.The mathematical model was\n
