The incidence of thyroid cancer has been on the rise. After total thyroidectomy of well differentiated thyroid tumors with intermediate or high-risk features on pathology, radioiodine remains one of the mainstays as the standard therapy for thyroid remnant ablation as well as treatment of metastatic disease. SPECT/CT, a relatively newer modality, has shown to play a pivotal role predominantly in the post-therapy setting by changing the risk stratification of patients with thyroid cancer. In the case of radioiodine failure, other modalities such as FDG PET/CT have been shown to provide prognostic information in terms of metabolic activity and external beam radiation therapy, thereby playing a role in disease management. The role of newer redifferentiation drugs has been evaluated with the use of I-124 PET/CT.
