目的探讨甲状腺良性病变的^18氟脱氧葡萄糖(^18F—fluorodexyoxyglucose,^18FFDG)PET/CT表现,以提高对该病变PET/CT影像的认识。方法回顾性分析经手术病理明确诊断的24例甲状腺良性病变的”FFDGPET/CT影像学资料,包括结节性甲状腺肿13例、甲状腺腺瘤10例、甲状腺局限性增生2例、桥本氏甲状腺炎4例、慢性甲状腺炎1例、亚急性甲状腺炎1例,其中10例患者甲状腺存在两个或多个病变。结果结节性甲状腺肿的异常PET/CT征象包括①甲状腺低密度结节或密度弥漫性减低;②甲状腺肿大;③钙化;④甲状腺局灶性或弥漫性FDG代谢增高。13例结节性甲状腺肿4例未见PET/CT异常征象,仅2例FDG代谢增高(局灶性、弥漫性)。甲状腺腺瘤的PET/CT异常征象包括①甲状腺低密度或略低密度结节;②囊变;③钙化;④甲状腺局灶性FDG代埘增高。10例甲状腺腺瘤仅2例局灶性FDG代谢增高。甲状腺局限性增生的PET/CT异常征象包括①甲状腺低密度结节;②甲状腺局灶性FDG代谢增高。2例甲状腺局限性增生1例局灶性FDG代谢增高。桥本氏甲状腺炎的PET/CT异常征象包括①甲状腺密度弥漫性减低;②甲状腺肿大;③甲状腺弥漫性FDG代谢增高。4例桥本氏甲状腺炎2例弥漫性FDG代谢增高。亚急性甲状腺炎和慢性甲状腺炎的PET/CT异常征象包括①甲状腺片状低密度灶;②甲状腺局灶性或弥漫性FDG代谢增高。结论甲状腺良性病变可出现FDG摄取增高,但在结节性甲状腺肿、甲状腺腺瘤、甲状腺局限性增生出现比例低,而在桥本氏甲状腺炎等炎性病变比例相对较高;甲状腺弥漫性FDG摄取多提示良性病变,而局灶性FDG摄取需作进一步的鉴别。
Objective This study was designed to investigat the performance of positron emission tomography/computer tomography (PET/CT) with ^18F fluorodexyoxyglucose (is F-FDG) for benign thyroid disease. Methods PET/CT findings in 24 patients (12 M/12F; age 28~84; mean age 55. 6 years) with pathologically proved benign thyroid disease by surgery were analyzed retrospectively. Of the 24 patients, two or more benign lesions of thyroid were detected in 10 pa-tients. So 13 cases of nodular goiter, 10 cases of thyroid adenoma, 2 cases of thyroid local hyperplasia, 4 cases of Hashimoto's thyroiditis, one case of chronic thyroiditis and one case of subacute thyroiditis were included in the study. ResultsThe abnormal PET/CT findings of nodular goiter were listed as follows:①low-density nodule or diffuse low density in the thyroid; ② enlarged thyroid; ③ calcification; ④ focal or diffuse FDG uptake in the thyroid. Of the 13 cases of nodulargoiter, 4 cases did not show the abnormal PET/CT findings and only 2 cases showed increased FDG uptake. The abnormal PET/CT findings of thyroid adenoma were listed as follows: ① low-density nodule or a little low-density nodule; ② cysticchange; ③ calcification; ④ focal FDG uptake in the thyroid. Of the 10 cases of thyroid adenoma, only 2 cases revealed increased FDG uptake. The abnormal PET/CT findings of thyroid local hyperplasia were listed as follows: ① low-densitynodule; ② focal FDG uptake in the thyroid. Of the 2 cases of thyroid local hyperplasia, one case showed increased focal FDG uptake. The abnormal PET/CT findings of Hashimoto's thyroiditis were listed as follows: ① diffuse low density inthe thyroid; ② enlarged thyroid; ③ diffuse FDG uptake in the thyroid. Of the 4 cases of Hashimoto's thyroiditis, 2 cases revealed diffuse FDG uptake in the thyroid. The abnormal PET/CT findings of chronic thyroiditis and subacute thyroiditiswere listed as follows: ① hypodensity patch in the thyroid; ② focal or diffuse FDG uptake in the thyroid
