UPDATE : The 14.3.2 updater again contains a removables.txt which breaks Microsoft Office Setup Assistant.app. The newer installer ships with flat-file Main.nib files that do not get removed by the removables.txt script. Copies of Office installed from it (or probably any 14.2.0+ installer ISO) do not exhibit the behavior explained here. UPDATE : I just obtained a copy of the 14.2.3 installer ISO from Microsoft VLSC. Since it requires 14.2.3 as a prerequisite, you’ll still need to apply the fix mentioned below to 14.2.3 when chaining updates. Size of the primary nodule does not influence SUV max uptake.UPDATE : The 14.2.5 installer no longer has this weird behavior (it does not include removables.txt files at all, however the postinstall script would still process them if they were there). All lesions should be evaluated with ultrasonography ± fine-needle aspiration if no clinical contraindications exist. Higher SUV max values are more indicative of malignant lesions. ConclusionĪll thyroid nodules with focal uptake on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose–PET/CT should be considered at higher risk of malignancy than those discovered incidentally by other imaging modalities. Serial SUV uptake had no significant change over time. Receiver operating characteristics curves were constructed on patients with PET data within 3 months of diagnosis and indicated that a SUV max of 4.2 differentiated maximally between benign and malignant lesions. A significant difference between malignant SUV max and benign SUV max was found (mean ± SD, 7.04 ± 7.88 for malignancies vs 3.85 ± 3.06 for benign tumors, P =. Twenty-five of the 28 lesions (89%) were primary thyroid malignancies. Malignancy was identified in 28 patients (27%). Complete data were available for 359 PET scans from 103 patients. Incidental thyroid uptake was noted in 1309 PET scans (5.60%), focal uptake in 690 (2.95%), and diffuse uptake in 619 (2.65%). SUV max, age, sex, size of thyroid lesion, indication for PET scan, and cytology/pathology were collected. Patients with incidental thyroid uptake were identified. In total, 23,384 PET and PET/computed tomography (CT) scans were performed between December 2001 and April 2011.

To determine if standardized uptake values (SUV) on positron emission tomography (PET) are predictive of thyroid pathology and the significance of serial SUV measurements of thyroid nodules over time.
