Core Tip	This review provides an overview of the current applications of positron emission tomography for hypoxia and perfusion imaging in lung cancer. Available PET tracers are discussed and the benefits of combined hypoxia and perfusion PET imaging are clarified. Hypoxia imaging could aid in selecting patients for hypoxia-specific treatment strategies. To achieve this, consensus about the optimal imaging protocol and quantification method is essential. Large clinical trials are needed to confirm the value of hypoxia imaging for improving patient care.
