Thyroid Cancer and (FDG)PET/CT Scan

Role of of F-18-fluoro-deoxy-glucose (FDG) PET/CT in Thyroid Cancer Patients With Negative I-131whole Body Scan and Elevated Thyroglobulin Level or Positive Anti Thyroglobulin Antibodies

Detection of recurrence or metastasis in patient with negative radioactive iodine scan and elevated stimulated thyroglobulin (sTg) or thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) levels.By progressively increase level of serum Thyroglobulin or thyroglobulin antibodies

initiate appropriate treatment to those patients improve survival and quality of life
