The Role of Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography in the Management of Recurrent Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma

Objectives/Hypothesis: The aim of the study was to evaluate the role of combined positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) fusion imaging in the detection and management of recurrent papillary thyroid cancer.
