"FDG avid" is a term primarily used by radiologists to describe sturctures in PET scans which have taken up and concentrated fluorodeoxyglucose more than surrounding tissues. FGD avid nodules are often (but not always) cancerous.

What does FDG AVID pulmonary nodule with MAX SUV of 3.2 mean?

An FDG avid pulmonary nodule with a maximum standardized uptake value (SUV) of 3.2 indicates that the nodule has increased metabolic activity, as measured by positron emission tomography (PET) using fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG). An SUV of 3.2 suggests that the nodule is likely to be malignant, although not definitively, as benign lesions can also exhibit increased uptake. Further evaluation, such as biopsy or imaging follow-up, is usually recommended to determine the nature of the nodule.

How can you find metastatic papillary thyroid cancer with non-avid iodine uptake?

One of the best ways is with FDG-18 PET scans. This is because non-iodine avid disease is often metabolically super-active and concentrates the radioactive glucose rapidly. This then "lights up " on the PET scan.
