Validity of PET Scan results

Validity of PET Scan results

How valid are PET scan results?  I have a 2 cm nodule in my lung.  The doctors were sure it was stage1 cancer.  A pet scan was performed and results indicated not cancer.  Multiple doctors looked at the results. However, they still feel it might be cancer and one option is to take it out or perform a needle biopsy.  The PET scan is very expensive and I wonder how reliable it is?  Why do it if you don't trust the results?
