Study of PET scan to find out more about unexpected thyroid findings
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial is looking at a special type of scan (PET/CT) to help better understand thyroid spots that show up by chance during a scan done for other reasons. It may help you get a clearer answer about what those spots mean.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 or older).
- You are going to have or have already had a PET/CT scan for another reason.
- Your PET/CT scan found an unexpected spot in your thyroid (a thyroid incidentaloma).
- You have never been diagnosed with thyroid cancer before.
- You have not had surgery on your thyroid in the past.

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 checks how well a new PET/CT scan (18F-TFB) can find thyroid cancer after a standard iodine whole-body scan. It may help doctors see where the cancer is using an added imaging test, which could improve planning for care.
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 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 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.
