The usefulness of 99mTc-SestaMIBI scan in the diagnostic evaluation of thyroid nodules with oncocytic cytology.
OBJECTIVE To assess the relevance of (99m)Tc-SestaMIBI (MIBI) scan in the diagnostic evaluation of thyroid nodules with oncocytic cytology. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Twenty-four patients with a single (or prevalent) 'cold' solid nodule with Hurthle cells (HC) at fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) were studied. Cytological diagnosis of oncocytic metaplasia (OM) or HC tumor (HCT) was made when H...
متن کاملEvaluation of single cold thyroid nodule with 99mTc-Sestamibi [Persian]
In 30 patient with single cold thyroid nodule and normal thyroid function tests, 99mTc-MIBI scan is performed. The nodules are divided to hot (10), Warm (12) and cold (8). FNA reported papillary Ca in 4, suspicious follicular neoplasm in 3 and 23 benign lesions. 7 patients were operated on and had final pathology reports (4 papillary Ca and 3 benign lesions). All the nodules with no MIBI ...
متن کاملDiagnostic accuracy of [99mTc]Tc-Sestamibi in the assessment of thyroid nodules
[99mTc]Tc-Sestamibi (MIBI) is an increasingly used tool for evaluation of thyroid nodules. However, there is a lack of evidence about the accuracy of this method in the European population. The aim of this study was to assess the utility of MIBI for the differentiation of thyroid nodules in a large cohort. 161 patients underwent MIBI, followed by a thyroidectomy. We used a dual phase MIBI proto...
متن کاملEvaluation of ِdiagnostic role of 99mTc-Tetrofosmin scintigraphy in cold thyroid nodules [Persian]
Introduction: Various radiopharmaceuticals, including 67Ga, 201Tl, and 99mTc-sestamibi have been used to differentiate benign from malignant thyroid nodules. 99mTc-Tetrofosmin, a lipophilic cationic radiotracer, and 99mTc-sestamibi have also been reported to accumulate in thyroid tumors. In this study, we evaluated the role of 99mTc-Tetrofosmin in the differentiation of malignant from ben...
