18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography and computed tomography in anaplastic thyroid cancer.
Our aim was to evaluate in anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) patients the value of 18F-FDG PET/CT compared with total body computed tomography (CT) using intravenous contrast material for initial staging, prognostic assessment, therapeutic monitoring and follow-up. ⋯ FDG PET/CT appears to be the reference imaging modality for ATC at initial staging and seems promising in the early evaluation of treatment response and follow-up.
