Abstract:

Preoperative accumulation of Tc-99m pertechnetate and radioiodine in metastases of well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma is uncommon. The authors report the case of a 51-year-old woman with follicular thyroid carcinoma revealed by a right orbital metastasis. I-131 scintigraphy performed before thyroidectomy showed intense uptake in an orbital metastasis despite the presence of an intact thyroid gland.

Imaging Studies II: Positron Emission Tomography and Scintigraphy

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique that provides crucial insights into the body's physiological functions at a molecular level. It is an indispensable resource for diagnosing, staging, and monitoring various illnesses, notably cancer, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular conditions.
