  • Title: Technetium-99m tetrofosmin and technetium-99m sestamibi imaging of multiple metastases from differentiated thyroid carcinoma.

    Journal: Eur J Nucl Med; 1995 Oct; 22(10):1218-20. PubMed ID: 8542909.
    Abstract:
    A 79-year-old male with follicular thyroid carcinoma metastasizing to the lung, bone and lymph nodes was subjected to whole-body scintigraphy using technetium-99m tetrofosmin and 99mTc-sestamibi. Both agents delineated the metastatic lesions and the two image qualities were comparable. We believe that 99mTc-tetrofosmin and 99mTc-sestamibi images may be helpful in localizing metastatic foci and substitute for thallium-201 in the follow-up of patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma.
