Serum calcitonin and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) are markers of recurrent or persistent disease in medullary thyroid cancer (MTC). However, conventional imaging often fails to lo-calize metastatic disease. Our aim was to compare fluorine-labeled dihydroxyphenylalanine (18F-DOPA) and 18F-FDG PET/ CT with multidetector CT (MDCT) and MRI in recurrent or per-sistent MTC. Methods: Nineteen MTC patients with increased calcitonin or CEA on follow-up (mean 6 SD, 936 91 mo; range, 4–300 mo) after primary therapy were prospectively image
