The purpose of this chapter is to explain the terms that describe the four studies that use radioactive iodine (I-131 and I-123) to evaluate thyroid cancer. These studies are: Measurement of thyroid uptake (Radioactive Iodine Uptake [RAIU]), Thyroid scan, Diagnostic Whole Body Scan (DxWBS...
RAIU, thyroid scan, thyroid scintigraphy Nuclear medicine A method of assessing thyroid function, using radioactive iodine–eg, 131I or 123I; ↑ in hyperthyroidism, ectopic hormone production, iodine deficiency, and in response to thyroid hormone depletion; ↓ in hypothyroidism, after administration ...

False-Positive and Subsequent False Negative Tc-99m Sestamibi Scan in a Case of Mediastinal Thymoma and Hyperparathyroidism. A letter to the editor is presented in response to an article about a patient with hyperparathyroidism who had both a false-positive and a subsequent false... Leung,Anna,...
A 53-year-old man received an FDG-PET scan as a follow-up study for previous colon polyps. The FDG-PET scan revealed an area of extraordinary high FDG uptake at the left parotid region. Computed tomography (CT) showed a 1.6-cm contrast-enhancing nodule in the left parotid gland and the...
To evaluate whether thallium-201 scan can reflect tumour proliferative activity in thyroid nodules. We compared the degree of 201Tl uptake with the tumour proliferative ability as assessed immunohistochmically by the labelling index of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in malignant and benign...
Soft tissue uptake on bone scan is exceptional, but can occur in a large spectrum of disease. In this case, necrosis and high-water content of myxoid tissue, reflected as marked high signal intensity on T2-weighted MR images, may contribute to the soft tissue uptake mechanism of the bone ...
