Efficacy of thyroid blockade on thyroid radioiodine uptake in 123I-mIBG imaging.

UNLABELLED Although iodinated radiopharmaceuticals usually contain a small quantity of unbound iodine, it is difficult to establish the degree to which thyroid activity on scintigraphic images reflects uptake of free radioiodine. The objective of the present study was to examine the effectiveness of thyroid blockade in subjects undergoing (123)I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine (mIBG) imaging and to es...

Redifferentiating Thyroid Cancer: Selumetinib-enhanced Radioiodine Uptake in Thyroid Cancer

In a recent article, we reported a restorative therapeutic intervention that turned individual thyroid cancer lesions into more efficient tissues for taking up radioactive iodine (RAI), resulting in clinically significant and durable responses. A group of Iodine-131 refractory thyroid cancer patients were treated with the MEK tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) selumetinib, and RAI uptake was resto...

Patterns of thyroid radioiodine uptake: Jordanian experience.

UNLABELLED This study aimed to determine the reference range of 24-h radioiodine uptake in euthyroid Jordanians, as well as the reference ranges for patients with diffuse and nodular hyperthyroidism. In addition, radioiodine uptake ranges were determined for those patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis and early-phase subacute thyroiditis. METHODS The medical records of 285 Jordanian patients ...

Impaired lung 123I-MIBG uptake on SPECT in pulmonary emphysema.

UNLABELLED The aim of this study was to evaluate impaired lung uptake of (123)I-metaiodobenzylguanidine ((123)I-MIBG) on SPECT, compared with perfusion SPECT and morphologic CT, in patients with pulmonary emphysema (PE). METHODS (123)I-MIBG SPECT was performed at 15 min and 4 h after intravenous injection of (123)I-MIBG in 36 PE patients with a history of smoking and variable-extent low-atten...

Metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) uptake in Parkinson's disease also decreases at thyroid.

BACKGROUND Decreased cardiac metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) uptake was reported in Parkinson's disease and this contributes to the differential diagnosis between Parkinson's disease and other forms of parkinsonism such as multiple system atrophy. However, decreased MIBG uptake of the thyroid has not been demonstrated. OBJECTIVE To compare MIBG uptake of the thyroid among Parkinson's disease, ...
