Overview
Other diagnostic studies for medullary thyroid cancer include nuclear imaging, which demonstrates increased uptake of radioactive iodine at the areas of metastases.
Other Diagnostic Studies
- Key findings in nuclear imaging in medullary thyroid cancer are:[1]
- Increased uptake of radioactive iodine at the areas of metastases
- FDG-PET: avid uptake
- Tl-201: It has been shown to concentrate Thallium
- I-123 MIBG: 30% of medullary thyroid cancer show uptake if the thyroid is blocked with Lugol solution prior to the scan
