Study of PET Imaging With 18F-TFB in Patients With Thyroid Cancer (NCT03196518)
PET Imaging of Thyroid Tissue Expressing Sodium-iodine Symporter Using the New Tracer 18F-tetrafluoroborate (18F-TFB)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of the study is to evaluate a new imaging test that may allows the investigators to predict the uptake of radioactive iodine by thyroid cancer faster than the current standard and that does not interfere with the uptake of radioactive iodine used for therapy.
