Background: The expanding use of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography
(18F-FDG PET) has led to the identification of increasing numbers of patients with an …

The thyroid nodule is a common entity. Although autopsy data indicate a 50% prevalence of
thyroid nodules larger than 1 cm in patients without clinical evidence of thyroid disease, the …

Background: Thyroid nodules are a common clinical problem, and differentiated thyroid
cancer is becoming increasingly prevalent. Since the publication of the American Thyroid …

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 …

Objective To compare the diagnostic accuracy of integrated 18F‐fluorodeoxyglucose
PET/CT with ultrasonography (US) and contrast enhanced CT (CECT) alone in the initial …

Background Incidentally found thyroid lesions are frequently detected in patients undergoing
FDG-PET/CT. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of incidentally found …

Indeterminate thyroid cytology (Bethesda III and IV) corresponds to follicular-patterned
benign and malignant lesions, which are particularly difficult to differentiate on cytology …

Background: Fine-needle aspiration remains the primary diagnostic intervention for the
evaluation of most thyroid nodules larger than 1–1.5 cm. Although most aspirates provide …

Indeterminate results at fine‐needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) of thyroid nodules pose a
clinical dilemma, because only 20% to 30% of patients suffer from malignancy. Previous …

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