AI Article Synopsis
- - A 31-year-old woman, previously treated for papillary thyroid cancer, received 131I therapy to eliminate any remaining cancer cells.
- - After treatment, whole-body scans showed unusual activity in her neck area.
- - Further imaging (SPECT/CT) pinpointed this activity to the outer layer of muscle in her neck, known as the platysma.
Article Abstract
A 31-year-old woman with a history of papillary thyroid cancer underwent ablative 131I therapy. Posttherapeutic whole-body 131I scintigraphy revealed abnormally increased activity in the neck. Additional SPECT/CT images localized the activity in the bilateral peripheral fascia of the platysma.

Susceptibility map-weighted MRI can distinguish tremor-dominant Parkinson's disease from essential tremor.
Sci Rep

Distinguishing between Parkinson's disease (PD) and essential tremor (ET) can be challenging sometimes. Although positron emission tomography can confirm PD diagnosis, its application is limited by high cost and exposure to radioactive isotopes. Patients with PD exhibit loss of the dorsal nigral hyperintensity on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Background/objective: Non-metastatic radioactive iodine (RAI) uptake can complicate the interpretation of whole-body scan (WBS) for differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) post-thyroidectomy. We present a patient with DTC whose follow-up WBS showed nonmetastatic multifocal avidity in skeletal tissue, an uncommonly reported site of RAI uptake.
Case Report: A 42-year-old woman underwent a right hemithyroidectomy, followed by completion thyroidectomy and RAI remnant ablation therapy, for a 4.
Delusory Radioiodine Uptake in Endometriotic Ovarian Cyst.

A 25-year-old woman with a known case of papillary thyroid carcinoma conventional type referred to our center for treatment with radioactive iodine after total thyroidectomy. She received 200 mCi of radioiodine, and in the whole-body scan 1 week after the radioiodine therapy, an area of increased absorption was seen on the right side of the pelvis, which was diagnosed as an endometriotic ovarian cyst in the follow-up examinations.

Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT has become an unparalleled modality in the diagnosis of primary and recurrent prostatic adenocarcinoma, often revealing sites of disease that were previously invisible on conventional imaging. In this 78-year-old man with suspected prostate cancer recurrence, PSMA PET/CT revealed focal radiotracer uptake in the brain, which would ordinarily raise suspicion for metastases, but was a false positive in the setting of a recent stroke. Increased PSMA uptake has been reported in subacute infarcts and primary and secondary brain tumors.

Clin Nucl Med
September 2024
From the Centre Léon Bérard, Lyon, France.
Collateral circulation is often secondary to a regional thrombosis. This phenomenon can lead to the detection of misleading bone lesions on imaging and is a well-known source of false-positives. Here, we present 2 different tracers PET/CT images, 18 F-FDG and 18 F-choline, with collateral circulation but without obvious thrombosis.
