Abstract:
Tumor thrombus arising from malignancies has been well recognized by both anatomic and metabolic imaging modalities, including FDG-PET. Recently, venous thromboembolism accumulating FDG has also been reported by a few literatures. However, blood thrombus accumulating radioiodine has never been reported by now. This case presents a follicular thyroid carcinoma patient with venous thromboembolism in the left brachiocephalic vein and superior vena cava, which could accumulate both FDG and radioiodine, mimicking thyroid carcinoma extension.

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
