A) At one-year after RAI treatment.

ATA 76,6 47,4 27,1 88,8 53,3
ETA 70,3 62,2 32,1 89,1 63,8

Positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), Risk stratification of American Thyroid Association (ATA), Risk stratification of European Thyroid Association (ETA), Risk stratification of American Thyroid Association after SPECT/CT (ATA after SPECT/CT) and SPECT/CT alone (SPECT/CT).

*Sensitivity of SPECT/CT compared to the ATA classification was significantly lower (p = 0.021).

**Specificity of SPECT/CT was significantly higher than any other classification (p < 0.001).

***Diagnostic accuracy of SPECT/CT was significantly better than any other classification (p < 0.001).
