Objective To assess clinical value of fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for differentiation of malignant from benign focal thyroid incidentaloma. Materials and Methods This retrospective study included 99 patients with focal thyroid incidentaloma of 5216 non-thyroid cancer patients that had undergone PET/CT. PET/CT semi-quantitative param...

The aim of this study was to define the clinical prevalence and rate of malignancy of focal thyroid incidentaloma in a relatively large number of individuals with application of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) Positron Emission Tomography (PET) in asymptomatic individuals. The subjects consisted of 4803 physical check-up examinees (2638 men, 2165 women; mean age+/-SD, 52.8+/-9 years old) with non-...

PURPOSE : To develop a clinical prediction model to predict a clinically relevant adrenal disorder for patients with adrenal incidentaloma. MATERIALS AND METHODS : This retrospective study is approved by the institutional review board, with waiver of informed consent. Natural language processing is used for filtering of adrenal incidentaloma cases in all thoracic and abdominal CT reports from...
