with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) during ongoing thyroid suppression therapy, the …

In four patients with disseminated papillary or follicular thyroid carcinoma metastatic sites
could be demonstrated by scintigraphy with 201 Tl. Uptake was present during TSH …

RESULTS Pathological accumulations of [2Â'Tl] chloridewere seen in 74 patients (23%).

Radioactive iodine (131 I) has been found to be more sensitive and more specific than
thallium-201 for the detection of distant metastases and thyroid remnants in the neck in …

MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-two patients with DTC had 72 sets of J3fl studies, serum
Tg determinations, and 2 lTl scans. The patient population consisted of 34 females and 18 …

(5). In the present case, however, marked uptake of 11-201 was observed, not only in the

It has been reported that widespread pulmonary involvement by metastatic thyroid
carcinoma may be demonstrated by I131 chest scintiscanning (1). In the case reported …

We have studied groups of patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma, in order to …

To evaluate the use of Tc-99m pertechnetate whole body scanning for the detection of
metastases of differentiated thyroid carcinoma, the authors performed sequential Tc-99m …
