Article	Year
[67 Ga-citrate scintigraphy as a determiner in the diagnosis of a subacute thyroiditis]. Revista espanola de medicina nuclear, 2001, Volume: 20, Issue:1 We present the case of a 41-year-old man admitted to the hospital with fever and toxic syndrome possibly having an oncological or infectious origin. A whole body scan with 67Ga-citrate showed an intense and diffuse radiotracer accumulation in the thyroid gland. The patient was re-evaluated and studied with other diagnostic tests including a thyroid 99mTc-pertechnetate scintigraphy and a thyroidal radioiodine uptake. A correct final diagnosis of painless subacute thyroiditis was made.

Uptake of In-111 pentetreotide by normally functioning nodular goiters. Clinical nuclear medicine, 1997, Volume: 22, Issue:9 After the intravenous administration of a radiolabeled somatostatin analogue (octreotide), normal thyroid and neoplastic and nonneoplastic thyroid lesions can be visualized. The authors present the cases of two patients who underwent somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SSRS) using In-111 pentetreotide: one for the study of suspected paraneoplastic ACTH hypersecretion, and the other for a restaging of breast carcinoma with neuroendocrine features. In both patients, SSRS revealed increased uptake in the thyroid, corresponding to "cold" nodules on Tc-99m pertechnetate imaging. Cytologic and histologic examinations showed the typical features of thyroid goiters without lymphocytic infiltration.
