Popis: Establishment of new centers for nuclear medicine in our country made diagnostic and treatment procedures more accessible for patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). It includes radioiodine therapy, considered as a non-alternative method of treatment, and positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography (PET/CT), which is essential in some clinical cases. For many years suspected tumor relapse with increased level of thyroglobulin and negative radioiodine scan was the only indication for PET/CT use among patients with DTC. But over the last decade the indications for PET/CT use in DTC cases expanded significantly. This review is aimed to analyze currently available data on PET/CT in DTC patients, its indications for use, advantages and limitations, new trends and recommendations.
