18 F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography May Exclude Malignancy in Sonographically Suspicious and Scintigraphically Hypofunctional Thyroid Nodules and Reduce Unnecessary Thyroid Surgeries

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) is useful in the further characterization of sonographically suspicious and scintigraphically hypofunctional thyroid nodules.
