Incidental thyroid nodules are commonly detected on ultrasonography (US). This has
contributed to the rapidly rising incidence of low-risk papillary thyroid carcinoma over the last …

Context: Thyroid incidentaloma diagnosed by 2-[18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose positron
emission tomography/computed tomography (F-18-FDG-PET/CT) is defined as a thyroid …

The incidental thyroid nodule (ITN) is one of the most common incidental findings on
imaging studies that include the neck. An ITN is defined as a nodule not previously detected …

The Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging has defined molecular imaging as

Incidental thyroid nodules that are found on an imaging study performed for reasons other
than thyroid pathology represent a common scenario encountered by health care providers …

The technology behind positron emission tomography (PET) and the most widely used
tracer, 2-deoxy-2-[18F] fluoro-D-glucose (FDG), were both conceived in the 1970s, but the …

The incidence of thyroid carcinoma has been increasing worldwide. This is interpreted as an
increase in the incidental detection of papillary thyroid microcarcinomas (PTMCs). However …

Context: Papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) is an indolent neoplasia, often
asymptomatic and discovered incidentally. Some PTMCs, however, exhibit a more …

Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can play an important
role in preoperative and post-treatment assessment of thyroid malignancy. The radiologist …

Thyroid cancer fulfills the criteria for overdiagnosis by having a reservoir of indolent cancers
and practice patterns leading to the diagnosis of incidental cancers from the reservoir. The …
