TcO scintigraphic detection of follicular thyroid cancer and multiple metastatic lesions: A case report.

TcO thyroid imaging is often used to detect thyroid diseases that are confined to the neck. However, this examination is not frequently used to detect metastatic lesions of thyroid cancer in the whole body, while I imaging is often used to detect the metastases of differentiated thyroid cancers. The present study performed TcO thyroid imaging for a 69-year-old patient with a thyroid nodule and incidentally identified a lesion with abnormally increased TcO uptake in the chest of the patient.

Comparison of distribution characteristics of metastatic bone lesions between breast and prostate carcinomas.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the distribution characteristics of bone metastases in breast and prostate carcinomas. Bone scintigraphies were performed in 504 cancer patients. We studied the correlation between the distribution and total number of metastatic bone lesions, and compared the distribution of metastatic bone lesions between breast and prostate carcinomas.
