The Clinical Role of Dual-Time-Point 18F-FDG PET/CT in Differential Diagnosis of the Thyroid Incidentaloma
Thyroid incidentalomas are common findings during imaging studies including 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for cancer evaluation. Although the overall i...

Value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in the Detection of Ovarian Malignancy
Ovarian cancer is a leading cause of gynecologic malignancy. As symptoms of ovarian cancer are nonspecific, only 20 % of ovarian cancers are diagnosed while they are still limited to the ovaries. Thus, early a...
