Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 07/29/08
Costabel U et al. - Novel imaging techniques have been explored in sarcoidosis, such as positron emission tomography using L-[3-18F]-[alpha]-methyltyrosine, which is more specific for malignancy than 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography. Endobronchial ultrasonograpy-guided transbronchial needle aspiration is a safe and useful tool for diagnosing sarcoidosis with a diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of 85-93, 78-89, and 92-96%, respectively.
