Measuring thyroid gland findings from PET/CT scans
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study is looking at PET/CT scans to better understand what unexpected thyroid findings mean. By measuring how active the thyroid spot is on the scan, doctors hope to tell if it's likely harmless or something that needs more attention.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 years or older).

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 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 a new type of PET scan to find thyroid cancer that has come back or spread. It compares two tracers to see which one better shows the cancer, which may help doctors choose the right treatment.
This trial tests a special PET scan (68Ga-FAPI) to see if it can better find thyroid cancer that has come back or spread after surgery. It may help your doctor decide on the best next steps for your care.
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.
This study uses a special type of PET/CT scan (68Ga-FAPI) to see how well it finds cancer spread in lymph nodes before thyroid cancer surgery. It may help doctors plan your treatment more accurately.
