Abstract
18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) is a valuable diagnostic tool in a spectrum of malignant and benign conditions, because of a high sensitivity to detect even very small lesions with increased metabolism. This review focuses on the use of FDG-PET/CT in malignancies of the thyroid gland and in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
Keywords: (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose; FDG; Head and neck; PET/CT; Positron emission tomography/computer tomography; Squamous cell carcinoma; Thyroid.
