We retrospectively evaluated the frequency of unexpected accumulation of radioactive
iodine on the post-therapy whole-body scan (Rx-WBS) after radioactive iodine (RAI) ablation …

Background After initial radioactive iodine (RAI) treatment in differentiated thyroid cancer
patients, we sometimes observe a star-shaped region of intense uptake of 131I on whole …

Objective: Radioiodine is the most specific radionuclide for differentiated thyroid carcinoma
(DTC) imaging. Despite its high specificity and sensitivity, false-positive I-131 uptake could …

Background and purpose False-positive radioiodine uptake can sometimes be observed
with post-radioiodine treatment (RIT) whole body scanning. Radioiodine pitfall has often …

Abstract Background Iodine-131 (I-131) whole-body scan (WBS) plays an important role in
the management of patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC), to detect normal …

Purpose whole body scan (WBS) performed following diagnostic or therapeutic
administration of I-131 is useful in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma. However, it …

Background: Postsurgical thyrotropin (TSH)-stimulated serum thyroglobulin (Tg) level can be
used to predict the likelihood of finding radioactive iodine (RAI) avid metastatic foci on …

Objective (s): We investigated a frequency of lower extremity uptake on the radioactive
iodine (RAI) whole body scan (WBS) after RAI treatment in patients with differentiated thyroid …

Purpose The purpose of this study is to compare post-therapy third day and seventh day I-
131 whole body scans (3DWBS and 7DWBS) in detecting lung or bone metastasis from well …

Introduction. Although whole body scan (WBS) with I‐131 is a highly sensitive tool for
detecting normal thyroid tissue and metastasis of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), it is not …
