Abstract

OBJECTIVE. Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine cancer. This review evaluates the established use of ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT in papillary, follicular, Hürthle cell, anaplastic, and medullary thyroid cancers. The significance of incidental diffuse and focal thyroid FDG uptake is discussed. The evolving value of non-FDG radiotracers, including ¹²⁴I, ¹⁸F-dihydroxyphenylalanine, and ⁶⁸Ga somatostatin analogs, is summarized. CONCLUSION. PET/CT is a valuable imaging test, in the appropriate clinical context, for the management of thyroid cancers.
