Radioiodine is highly specific for detecting functioning thyroid tissue in the body. However, an unexpected radioiodine uptake can cause various false-positive results in whole-body scanning.

SPECT/CT revealed that the uptake was located in the colon, and the uptake was completely egested after additional bowel preparation.
