We present 2 clinical examples in the settings of both iodine-concentrating and non–iodine-concentrating lesions with tracheal involvement with special reference to its importance in planning of surgery or radioiodine therapy and assessing completeness of surgery. We believe that the use of PET/CT should be considered on a case-by-case basis and specifically when SPECT/CT is unavailable or has inconclusive findings. ER -
