Methods: Clinical studiesevaluating the application value of PET/CT for patients underwent PET/CT imaging. The histological diagnosisserved as the standard of truth. Results: Four clinical studies which including 1330 patients with pulmonary spaceoccupyinglesions were considered eligible for inclusion. Systemic analysis suggested that, in all 1330 patients,pooled sensitivity was 98.7% (1313.2/1330) and specificity was 58.2%(276.85/476). Conclusion: This systemicanalysis suggests that integrated PET/CT imaging provides high sensitivity, and reasonably high specificity, andcould be applied for early diagnosis of lung cancer. %U https://journal.waocp.org/article_30768_ed6f3060613ecb522a5e64162cf6b205.pdf
