| AimIn cases where standardized maximum uptake (SUVmax) values in positron emission tomography (PET-CT) were not sufficient to differentiate mediastinal lymphadenopathy and masses from malignant or benign, the contribution of Hounsfield unit (HU) values in thorax computed tomography to the diagnosis was evaluated.Material MethodThe study was conducted by evaluating the data of 182 patients between 2019 and 2023. HU values on non-contrast thorax computed tomography and PET-CT SUVmax values of biopsied masses and lymph nodes were compared with histopathological diagnoses.ResultsPatients, 58 females (31.9%) and 124 males (68.1%), who underwent EBUS were included in the study. Biopsies were taken from 233 stations (199 lymph nodes, 34 masses) from 182 patients. A total of 135 of the biopsies taken from 233 stations were histopathologically malignant and 98 were benign … |
