Background Recent series of incidental thyroid activity on fluorodeoxyglucose positron
emission tomography (FDG-PET) in patients evaluated for nonthyroidal malignancy, which …

OBJECTIVE: Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) whole body positron emission tomography (PET)
scan may show clinically occult second lesions. Such lesions in the thyroid are increasingly …

Background Incidental thyroid abnormalities are increasingly detected in patients
undergoing PET scans. The aim of this study was to review our experience with the …

18F-Fluorodeoxiglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) thyroid incidentalomas
are defined abnormal FDG uptake in the thyroid gland found at PET scan performed as part …

Purpose This article discusses the value of incidental thyroid uptake of fluorodeoxyglucose
(FDG) on whole-body positron emission tomography (PET) scans performed in patients with …

2-[18F] fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG)-PET is an increasingly important imaging tool in
oncology. 1 PET and PET/CT are currently used for detection and staging of malignancies …

An incidental finding of focal thyroid uptake (thyroid incidentaloma) from an 18F-
fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET) positron presents a diagnostic …

Objective The percentage of patients with thyroid cancer incidentally diagnosed during a
18F‐fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography with computed tomography …

Background Thyroid nodules may be incidentally detected on 18 F‐FDG‐positron emission
tomography (PET) scans. Previous reports suggest a high incidence of malignancy in FDG …

Conclusion. The incidental finding of focal thyroid uptake on FDG-PET scanning has an
elevated malignancy risk from other thyroid nodules. According to our knowledge diagnose …
