F-18 Tetrafluoroborate PET/CT to find recurrent or residual differentiated thyroid cancer
This test will see if F-18 Tetrafluoroborate PET/CT finds recurrent or residual differentiated thyroid cancer better than standard F-18 FDG PET/CT in adults who had surgery and radioactive iodine and now have rising thyroglobulin or anti-thyroglobulin.
