The role of 123I-diagnostic imaging in the follow-up of patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma as compared to 131I-scanning: avoidance of negative therapeutic uptake due to stunning.
OBJECTIVE: Some patients with relapsed differentiated thyroid cancer may show rising thyroglobulin (Tg) levels despite a lack of 131I uptake on routine whole body imaging. A significant proportion of these patients, after therapy doses of 131I, may demonstrate positive 131I uptake with a subsequent...
