Discordant imaging of a thyroid nodule with /sup 131/I and /sup 99m/Tc: concordance of /sup 131/I and fluorescent scans

OSTI ID:6717423

A thyroid nodule, hot by /sup 99m/Tc and cold by /sup 131/I scanning, was reimaged with a fluorescent scanner. The fluorescent scan was qualitatively similar to the /sup 131/I scan and demonstrated low iodine content in the nodule. This combination of scan patterns is compatible with an organification defect in the nodular tissue.
