Patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) may suffer recurrence despite thyroidectomy and complete radioiodine (RAI) ablation. Reoperation is vitally dependent on accurate and complete disease localization, typically utilizing cervical ultrasonography (US) and/or computed tomography. Our aim was to determine the comparative value of F18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET) to US for localization of locoregional recurrence in patients who underwent reoperation for recurrent PTC.
