Abstract
Technetium-99m pertechnetate or iodine-123 scintigraphy are valuable investigations in conjunction with ultrasound and fine needle aspiration in the investigation of thyroid nodules.
Radioactive iodine isotopes contribute significantly to the diagnostic strategy of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC).
Iodine-131 is widely used therapeutically to ablate remnant thyroid tissue post-operatively, to treat metastases from DTC and as a diagnostic tracer for detection of metastatic disease.
18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18FDG) PET is likely to have a significant role in non-iodine avid DTC and other thyroid cancers.
18FDG PET plays a complementary role in diagnosis, staging and treatment evaluation of squamous cell head and neck cancers.
