In order to confirm the accuracy of ECT (emission computed tomography) scanning imaging in the diagnosis of lung histoplasmosis is higher than CT (computed tomography) scan. We retrospect a lung histoplasmosis patient, he was examined by the CT scan and ECT scanning, respectively. Results showed that lung cancer for CT diagnosis and large benign lesions for ¹⁸F-FDG (¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose) ECT diagnosis. This indicated that the ECT diagnosis for benign lesions in the lung maybe have higher accuracy than CT scan.
