2666 Introduction: F18-fluorodeoxyglucose (F18-FDG) positron emission tomography is a
powerful tool most commonly utilized in oncologic imaging. F18-FDG is a glucose analog …

In the diagnosis and staging of oncologic patients,[18 F]-fluorodeoxyglucose positron
emission tomography (FDG-PET) is well recognized as an important functional imaging …

1942 Objectives The objective of this study was to evaluate incidental diffuse thyroid F-18
FDG uptake on PET/CT, by examining the relationship with thyroid function tests and …

1003 Objectives: Abnormal activity in thyroid gland is commonly encountered during routine
oncologic 18F-FDG PET/CT scans and often warrants further evaluation with laboratory and …

Objective To investigate and evaluate the prevalence of incidental thyroid diffuse and diffuse-
plus-focal fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in healthy subjects who underwent …

Our purpose was to determine the clinical significance of diffusely increased 18F-FDG
uptake in the thyroid gland as an incidental finding on PET/CT. Methods: All patients who …

1280 Objectives: aim of our study was to evaluate the clinical significance of unexpected
18F-FDG focal hot spots within the thyroid region. Methods: we retrospectively reviewed all …

1205 Objectives: It has been proven that diffuse thyroid FDG uptake could be an indicator of
Hashimoto's thyroiditis. The aim of the study was to determine the clinical value of diffuse or …

Incidental uptake of 2-[18 F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (18 F-FDG) in the thyroid gland is not
uncommonly encountered in day-to-day practice of oncological 18 F-FDG positron-emission …

The impact of incidentally identified diffuse thyroid FDG uptake on 18F-FDG PET/CT scan on
the incidence of thyroid dysfunction remains unclear. We examined the association of diffuse …
