This potential pitfall in PET/CT should be borne in mind during current vaccination programmes.

[(18)F]FDG-PET/CT seems to be valuable for the detection of recurrence in patients with highly elevated calcitonin levels and negative conventional imaging findings. In addition, it seems that the sensitivity of [(18)F]FDG-PET/CT may be higher in patients with sporadic or familial MTC than in patients with MTC as part of multiple endocrine neoplasia type IIA syndrome.

The timing of RRA seems to have no effect on the long-term outcome of the disease. Therefore, urgency for radioiodine ablation in patients with low-risk thyroid cancer is not recommended.

Visual interpretation of (123)I-FP-CIT studies showed very good interobserver agreement. We found significant associations among visual, semi-quantitative and clinical parameters.

Our study demonstrated a VMT release rate of 66.7 %. Apart from the known baseline factors that influence VMT release after ocriplasmin injection, the size of the vitreofoveal angle, a V-shaped and loose vitreomacular adhesion, a small adhesion area, and thin vitreous strands at the adhesion site, could additionally affect the outcome of VMT release. In addition, we studied when VMT release and concomitant events occur and for how long the induced complications lasted.

The long-term results of this study further support the safety and effectiveness of safety-enhanced PDT with half dose of verteporfin for the treatment of chronic CSC.
