Abstract
Sixty percent of differentiated thyroid carcinoma bone metastases [in humans] identified by local radioactive iodide uptake and radiographic changes were negative in the bone scans. Another 20% of the bony metastases showed only a minimal increased uptake of bone imaging radionuclides. The bone scan is not a useful tool in the work-up for metastatic thyroid cancer.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
