Head & neck
-
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between postsurgical neck (⁹⁹m) technetium ((⁹⁹m) Tc)-pertechnetate uptake and the rate of successful remnant ablation after radioiodine treatment in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). ⋯ The (⁹⁹m) Tc-pertechnetate scintigraphy is a simple and feasible tool to evaluate thyroid remnants and to predict radioiodine ablation results in patients with DTC.
