  • F-18 FDG PET/CT in the management of thyroid cancer.

    Iagaru A, Kalinyak JE, McDougall IR. Clin Nucl Med. 2007; 32 (9): 690-5

    There are approximately 32,000 new cases of thyroid carcinoma annually in the United States. F-18 FDG PET/CT has an established role in cancer management, including thyroid cancer, usually in patients who are thyroglobulin (Tg) positive/iodine negative. We reviewed our experience with F-18 FDG PET/CT in thyroid cancer, with an emphasis on correlation with Tg, and maximum standardized uptake values (SUV). We also analyzed the role of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) on PET/CT results.
