In this study, we seek to assess the feasibility of performing PET-CT for the evaluation of pulmonary nodules in children to obtain preliminary data for sample size determination for a larger multi-institutional trial. The primary objective of the multi-institutional trial will be to compare the accuracy of diagnostic CT alone to PET-CT in distinguishing benign from malignant nodules in children with solid malignancies. We are hopeful that PET-CT will allow us to better direct the clinical management of these patients and to reduce the number of invasive procedures performed to confirm the presence of benign disease.
