Brief Summary:
The aim of this study is to make up for the gap by performing a dynamic scan of <Sup>18<Sup>F-FDG PET/CT on newly diagnosed patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma. Pathological and genomic studies are performed. The differences between metastatic central lymph nodes images and tissues are compared at the same time. <Sup>18<Sup>F-FDG PET/CT dynamic imaging is explored in metastatic central lymph nodes with papillary thyroid cancer for the diagnostic value.
