DOI: 10.1080/02656736.2018.1430868
Abstract: Abstract Context: No defined pre-treatment factors are able to predict the response to radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of an autonomously functioning thyroid nodule (AFTN). Objective: Primary endpoint was to evaluate the success rate of RFA to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/rlu.0000000000004396
Abstract: Purpose of the report Whereas the 18F-FDG PET/CT pattern of malignant thyroid neoplasia is known, the glucose uptake of autonomously functioning thyroid nodules (AFTNs) has not been fully investigated. We aimed to analyze the FDG… read more here.
