EU-TIRADS, within a clinical careful approach, can discriminate with significant accuracy lesions at high risk of malignancy from those at low risk among TIs at 18 F-FDG PET/CT. Additionally, a centre-based threshold for SUV parameters should be useful for the initial assessment of these lesions during PET/CT reading and reporting.
