Clinical Significance of Diffuse (18)F-FDG Uptake in Residual Thyroid Gland after Unilateral Thyroid Lobectomy.
PURPOSE We investigated the clinical significance of diffuse uptake in remaining thyroid after unilateral lobectomy for thyroid cancer. METHODS A total of 144 thyroid cancer patients who underwent (18)F-FDG PET/CT after lobectomy were enrolled in the present study. The PET/CT images were evaluated for the presence of diffuse (18)F-FDG uptake with maximum SUV (SUVmax) >2.0 in the residual thyr...
متن کاملClinical significance of diffusely increased 18F-FDG uptake in the thyroid gland.
UNLABELLED Our purpose was to determine the clinical significance of diffusely increased (18)F-FDG uptake in the thyroid gland as an incidental finding on PET/CT. METHODS All patients who were found to have diffuse thyroid uptake on (18)F-FDG PET/CT in our institution between November 2004 and June 2006 were investigated and compared with an age- and sex-matched control group. The (18)F-FDG u...
متن کاملIncidental focal 18F-FDG uptake in the pituitary gland: clinical significance and differential diagnostic criteria.
UNLABELLED The purpose of this study was to identify the incidence and clinical significance of incidental pituitary uptake on whole-body (18)F-FDG PET/CT. METHODS We evaluated 13,145 consecutive subjects who underwent (18)F-FDG PET/CT. The final diagnosis of pathologic or physiologic uptake was based on brain MRI and follow-up PET scanning. Receiver-operating-characteristic curve analysis wa...
متن کاملClinical significance of miR-34a expression in thyroid diseases – an 18F-FDG PET-CT study
Purpose To evaluate the possible roles of miR-34a expression in thyroid lesions, to unravel the correlation between fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake and miR-34a expression and moreover, to discover the underlying mechanisms by which miR-34a regulates FDG avidity. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 75 patients with pathology-confirmed thyroid diseases who underwent 18F-FDG positron emission to...
متن کاملFocal thyroid lesions incidentally identified by integrated 18F-FDG PET/CT: clinical significance and improved characterization.
UNLABELLED In this retrospective study, we investigated whether the (18)F-FDG uptake pattern and CT findings improved the accuracy over the standardized uptake value (SUV) for differentiating benign from malignant focal thyroid lesions incidentally found on (18)F-FDG PET/CT. We also defined the prevalence of these lesions and their risk for cancer. METHODS (18)F-FDG PET/CT was performed on 1,...
