The Role of [18F]-2-Fluoro-2-Deoxy-D-Glucose-Positron Emission Tomography in Thyroid Nodules With Indeterminate Fine-Needle Aspiration Biopsy: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Literature

Indeterminate results at fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) of thyroid nodules pose a clinical dilemma, because only 20% to 30% of patients suffer from malignancy. Previous studies suggested that the false-negative ratio of [(18)F]-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET)...
