| Sites of metastases |
sTSH F-18 FDG PET/CT Mean ± S.D. |
eTSH F-18 FDG PET/CT Mean ± S.D. |
p-values |
|---|---|---|---|
| Local recurrence | 9.3 ± 4.3 | 12.5 ± 9.3 | NC |
| Cervical LNs | 15.1 ± 22.2 | 11.8 ± 16.4 | 0.4258 |
| Distant LNs | 7.6 ± 2.6 | 7.2 ± 3.2 | 0.7500 |
| Lung | 8.2 ± 7.4 | 9.2 ± 8.1 | 1 |
| Bone | 8.7 ± 3.6 | 7.3 ± 1.7 | NC |
