Diagnostic Value of CT Density in Patients With Diffusely Increased FDG Uptake in the Thyroid Gland on PET/CT Images

Abstract

CT density is closely related to FDG uptake, and low CT density coupled with high FDG uptake suggests a change in thyroid tissue composition and is probably helpful for assessing the disease process and thyroid function of patients whose thyroid show diffuse FDG uptake on FDG PET/CT.
