Positron emission tomography–computed tomography-associated incidental neoplasms of the thyroid gland

Positron emission tomography–computed tomography-associated incidental neoplasms of the thyroid gland

With the increasing use of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography–computed tomography (PET-CT) scans in oncology, the finding of thyroid incidentalomas, also popularly described as PET-associated incidental neoplasms (PAINs) of the thyroid gland is not unusual. The 18F-FDG PET-CT...
