1 BACKGROUND: Objectives were to analyze the relationship between a positive (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) result and clinical and tumor factors in patients treated for differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) and under suspicion of recurrence or metastasis, and to determine the diagnostic validity of PET in DTC patients with elevated serum thyroglobulin (Tg) and negative (131)I whole-body scan ((131)I-WBS). Fluorodeoxyglucose F18 thyroglobulin Homo sapiens
