Abstract

The correlation between a I whole-body scan (WBS), a 99mTc sestamibi (99mTc-MIBI) WBS, a computed tomography (CT) scan and the value of routine follow-up for I WBS and thyroglobulin (Tg) levels in patients with lung metastases from differentiated thyroid cancer was assessed. © 2006 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc.
