Sažetak
The study by Dittmann et al. is a beacon of hope for nuclear thyroidology. A hope that someday soon, nuclear thyroidologist will finally have a low radiation exposure, high resolution, high accuracy, PET/CT-based outpatient procedure for diagnostic imaging in DTC, and perhaps also in other thyroid and non-thyroid diseases. Certainly, the authors give this development the warmest of welcomes and can only encourage anyone interested to put in an endeavour to start studies further validating [18F]TFB, preferably in a multi-centre, international manner. Until such studies are complete, we can only wait with longing and yearning for that which for other imaging targets in nuclear medicine has been available for so long already.
