By using PET/CT, we can select patients with low SUV follicular neoplasm. RFA offers a safe and feasible alternative treatment option for patients unsuitable or unwilling to undergo surgery.KEY POINTSBy using positron emission tomography-computed tomography, we can distinguish low SUV follicular neoplasm for radiofrequency ablation.For low SUV follicular neoplasm, RF ablation offers a safe and effective alternative treatment option for patients unsuitable or unwilling to undergo surgery.
