We also tested whether the 18F-FDG PET/CT result was an independent risk factor for DTCs or FNs when sex, age, nodule dimensions, the European Thyroid Imaging and Reporting Data System (EU-TIRADS) and ICCRTC were considered.
Methods
We evaluated all patients with thyroid nodules and indeterminate cytology from September 2015 to May 2019; nodules were classified as low risk (TIR3A) and high risk (TIR3B) according to the ICCRTC. Neck ultrasonography features according to EU-TIRADS were re-evaluated and 18F-FDG PET/CT performed. All these patients were surgically …
