While iodine scanning is the mainstay of functional imaging in differentiated thyroid cancer, there is now a significant body of literature regarding positron emission tomography with 2‐fluoro‐2‐deoxy glucose in thyroid cancer. This clinical review will examine the evidence supporting the use of 2‐fluoro‐2‐deoxy glucose‐positron emission tomography throughout the diagnosis and management of thyroid cancer, and provide suggestions for its clinical use and potential future roles.
