DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING MODALITIES FOR DETECTION OF LUNG METASTASES IN PATIENTS WITH DIFFRENTIATED THYROID CANCER
Abstract
The aim of the study was to comparatively assess the efficacy of various diagnostic imaging modalities in detection of lung metastases of differentiated thyroid cancer. A retrospective analysis of the results of examination of 36 patients was carried out. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/ CT) with [F-18] fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) was found to have the highest sensitivity for detection of lung metastases of differentiated thyroid cancer (100 %) followed by CT of the chest (95.5 %) and whole body scintigraphy (WBS) with 131I (66.7 %).
