  • Title: Gallbladder visualization during post-therapy iodine-131 imaging of thyroid carcinoma.
    Author: Achong DM, Oates E, Lee SL, Doherty FJ.
    Journal: J Nucl Med; 1991 Dec; 32(12):2275-7. PubMed ID: 1744714.
    Abstract:
    A persistent, extra-thyroidal focus of 131I on whole-body imaging of thyroid carcinoma usually represents a functioning metastasis. We report a case of 131I localization within a septated gallbladder, initially mimicking an isolated hepatic metastasis. Adjunctive liver/spleen and hepatobiliary scintigraphy helped to elucidate the true nature of this 131I activity.
