Purpose To assess the impact of an [18 F] FDG-PET/CT-driven diagnostic workup to rule out
malignancy, avoid futile diagnostic surgeries, and improve patient outcomes in thyroid …

Purpose To evaluate cost-effectiveness of an [18F] FDG-PET/CT-driven diagnostic workup
as compared to diagnostic surgery, for thyroid nodules with Bethesda III/IV cytology.[18F] …

Background: An accurate preoperative workup of cytologically indeterminate thyroid nodules
(ITN) may rule out malignancy and avoid diagnostic surgery for benign nodules. This study …

Purpose To evaluate whether quantitative [18F] FDG-PET/CT assessment, including
radiomic analysis of [18F] FDG-positive thyroid nodules, improved the preoperative …

Background: Thyroid nodules found incidentally on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose–positron
emission tomography (FDG-PET) have been shown to be malignant in 30%–50% of cases …

Thyroid nodules with indeterminate fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNA) represent a major
challenge in clinical practice. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis …

Objective To assess the role of positron emission tomography/computed tomography
(PET/CT) scans with 18FDG (18FDG‐PET/CT) in the evaluation of thyroid nodules with …

Purpose Preoperative diagnosis of thyroid nodules with “follicular neoplasm”(FN) based on
fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) forces thyroidectomy to exclude malignancy. This …

Background In all, 20% of fine‐needle aspiration (FNA) biopsies of thyroid nodules have an
indeterminate diagnosis; of these, 80% are found to be benign after thyroidectomy. Some …

Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is inconclusive in up to 20% of patients with solitary
thyroid nodules. In these cases, hemithyroidectomy is necessary, but only 20% of the …
