PET-CT scan for thyroid and parathyroid evaluation
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how well PET-CT scans can find thyroid or parathyroid problems. The trial uses scans that are already part of your regular care to learn more about these conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be older than 18 years
- You have a thyroid or parathyroid condition, or a PET-CT scan that shows unusual activity
- You had a needle aspiration (a small sample taken) within the last 12 months (for the retrospective part) or are scheduled for one within 12 months (for the prospective part)
- You must give permission to use your medical information

This study tests a new imaging agent (68Ga-DOTA-CCK-FS) that helps doctors see medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) and other tumors with CCK-2 receptors using a PET/CT scan. It may help find or monitor these tumors more clearly.
This study uses past and future parathyroid scan data to train and test an AI tool. The goal is to improve how the scans are interpreted using nuclear medicine imaging from a specific scanning process.
This study uses a special PET scan (18F-FDG PET/CT) to get a clearer picture of thyroid nodules with uncertain biopsy results. The goal is to help doctors decide whether surgery is needed.
This study tests how well a special PET scan using a substance called choline finds overactive parathyroid glands before you have surgery. It may help surgeons remove the right gland and avoid removing healthy ones.
This trial tests a new type of PET scan (F-18 Tetrafluoroborate) to find thyroid cancer cells that don't show up on standard scans. It's for people who have had surgery and radioactive iodine therapy but still have signs of cancer in their blood tests.
This study tests two advanced imaging techniques (PET/MR and PET/CT) to find overactive parathyroid glands or tumors that need surgery. Participants get a special scan before surgery to help surgeons locate the problem more accurately.
