Abstract
99Tcm-tetrofosmin imaging was performed in 23 thyroid cancer patients and compared with whole-body 131I scans, neck ultrasonography and plasma thyroglobulin levels. Of 22 patients with differentiated thyroid cancer, 8 showed identical images on 131I scan and tetrofosmin; 1 patient with medullary cancer had identical images with 99Tcm-DMSA and 99Tcm-tetrofosmin, the findings being confirmed by sonography. The potential usefulness of 99Tcm-tetrofosmin imaging in the follow-up of thyroid cancers is discussed.Entities:
