Correlation between remnant thyroid gland I-131 uptake and serum thyroglobulin levels: can we rely on I-131 whole body scans?

Correlation between remnant thyroid gland I-131 uptake and serum thyroglobulin levels: can we rely on I-131 whole body scans?

Abstract Background I-131 treatment (RAI) decision relies heavily on serum thyroglobulin (Tg) levels, as higher Tg levels are assumed to be correlated with higher I-131 uptake. Tg elevation, negative iodine scintigraphy (TENIS) definition is becoming more clinically relevant as alternative treatment...
