Primary intrathoracic goiter: Incidental diagnosis on 99m-Tc pertechnetate radioisotope thyroid scan

Incidental finding of hiatal hernia on (99m)Tc-sestamibi whole-body scan in thyroid cancer evaluation.

Tc-99m-RBC scan in diagnosis of hepatic hemangioma [Persian]

Four patients with sonographic suggestion of hepatic hemangioma are studied with Tc99m-labeled RBC scan. The scan findings are compaired with other imaging modalities. Lesions as small as 36 mm could be detected by this method. Tc99m labeled RBC scan is a valuable tool to differentiate hepatic hemangioma from other space occupying lesion of the liver.

Seat belt-related thyroiditis documented with thyroid Tc-99m pertechnetate scans.

A 64-year-old man presented with clinical unilateral thyroiditis after chronic left neck trauma from his car seat belt. Thyroid function tests were normal. The initial thyroid Tc-99m pertechnetate scan demonstrated decreased uptake in the entire left lobe of the thyroid. The follow-up scan 1 month later showed a more normal uptake in the left lobe. This patient's clinical course, laboratory val...

Gamma probe (99m)Tc-pertechnetate assisted completion thyroidectomy vs conventional thyroidectomy in differentiated thyroid carcinoma.

Patients undergoing partial thyroidectomy for benign diseases may need re-operation if differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) is detected on histopathology. The aim of this study was to determine if using gamma probe during the above surgery in a procedure called: gamma probe completion thyroidectomy (GPCT) could support the diagnosis of DTC tissue and offer an advantage in the surgical treatme...
