PET-TC in Thyroid Evaluation

NCT06852144 · Status: ENROLLING_BY_INVITATION · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 418

Last updated 2025-02-28

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The thyroid gland may have a diffuse or focal uptake of numerous PET/CT radiopharmaceuticals and this may be correlated with underlying benign and malignant thyroid/parathyroid pathologies.

It is not clear at present if the uptake of the radiopharmaceutical alone is associated with a potential malignancy of the disease.

The aim of the study is to collect evidence and consolidate the diagnostic power of PET/CT, to identify any predictive parameters that can determine whether PET positivity/negativity can in the future avoid unnecessary tests such as needle aspiration.

clinical practice drug treatment

Observational, prospective and retrospective study, transversal, non-profit, monocentric. All data of patients affected/ afferents to theU.O. of Nuclear Medicine of the IRCCS AOU of Bologna will be collected submitted/ who will undergo a PET/ CT investigation for thyroid pathology or other indication with incidental feedback of thyroid uptake and patients who have They undergo PET/CT with known thyroid disease. Of these patients will be collected the personal data, clinical news, data related to PET/ CT (dedicated software e.g. MIM), biochemical/ laboratory and anatomopathological (for operated patients), any other imaging investigations already performed and to be performed later by normal clinical practice. The medical nuclear images will be evaluated by at least two nuclear medical experts, with qualitative, semi-quantitative and radiometric parameters as far as possible. Patients will be treated according to normal clinical practice.
