Purpose: SPECT/CT has numerous advantages over planar and traditional SPECT images. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of SPECT/CT after radioiodine treatment of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) in early risk classification and in prediction of late prognosis.Methods: One hundred and eighty-one consecutive patients with DTC were investigated after their first radioiodine treatment. The risk for recurrence based on ATA 2009 cl...

Introduction: Beside remnant ablation and treatment of known metastases, radioiodine treatment of differentiated thyroid cancer is suitable for the discovery of unknown or suspected metastatic disease. In this study, the clinical utility of SPECT/CT, a hybrid imaging method was evaluated after radioiodine therapy.Patients and methods: Between July 2007 and March 2012, 260 investigations were performed at 188 patients. Male:female ratio was 47:141. Every ...

Objective: SPECT/CT has numerous advantages over planar and traditional SPECT images. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of post-radioiodine therapy SPECT/CT of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) in early risk classification and in prediction of late prognosis.Patients and Methods: 323 consecutive patients, 181 at the University of Pecs and 142 at the University of Debrecen, were investigated after their first radioiodine treat...
