PET imaging has been used for the assessment of lung cancer for several years for diagnosis, staging, and post-treatment follow up. Expanded applications are now being used and explored in the imaging of the heart, thoracic vascular disease, and chest wall disorders. This issue provides an up-to-date review of the uses of PET for oncologic and nononcologic diseases of the thorax.
