We hypothesized that APTw imaging had equal or better potential for diagnosis of SPNs and prediction of postoperative recurrence prediction in postoperative lung cancer patients, when compared with DWI and FDG-PET/CT. In addition, multiparametric approach among all three methods had better potential than single-parametric approach on each method in this setting. The purpose of this study was to compare the diagnosis and prediction capabilities of pulmonary nodules among single- and multi-parametric approaches by APTw imaging, DWI, and FDG-PET/CT.
