FEC-PET&4D-CT shows unprecedented results regarding the accuracy localizing PAs. The one-year-follow-up data demonstrate a high cure rate. We, therefore, suggest FEC-PET-CT as the relevant diagnostic tool for the localization of PAs when US fails to localize PA, especially after previous surgery to the neck.
