1 F18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography in detecting metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma with elevated human serum thyroglobulin levels but negative I-131 whole body scan. Fluorodeoxyglucose F18 thyroglobulin Homo sapiens
2 METHODS: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of F18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) to detect metastatic lesions in patients with papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTC) after nearly total thyroidectomy and I-131 treatments who present with elevated human serum thyroglobulin (hTg) levels but negative 1-131 whole body scan (WBS). Fluorodeoxyglucose F18 thyroglobulin Homo sapiens
