Coronal PET images of a patient with non-small cell lung cancer in the right lung. Both readers rated N1 as free of metastases on static images (A). In contrast to the static images, areas of focal tracer accumulation are discernable in the right lung hilus on both BG-MC (B) and DDG-MC (C) images (arrows). Both readers rated N1 as metastatic on BG-MC and DDG-MC images. Transbronchial needle aspiration confirmed the presence of metastases in ipsilateral and contralateral mediastinal lymph nodes
