Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: To determine whether 18F-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (18F-FDG)-PET/CT is useful for predicting the BRAF V600E mutation status of a primary papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed in 108 patients who underwent 18F-FDG positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) for staging before thyroidectomy and BRAF analysis in biopsy-confirmed PTC. The maximum...
