Clinical value of 99mTc-MIBI scintigraphy combined with posttherapeutic 131I whole-body scanning in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer with sTg ≥10 ng/mL before initial radioiodine therapy: a retrospective study
<sup>99m</sup>Tc-MIBI scintigraphy before RAIT combined with pt-<sup>131</sup>I WBS may be a useful diagnostic tool for the early identification of distant metastasis and poorer response to RAIT in patients with DTC. Moreover, <sup>99m</sup>Tc-MIBI scintigraphy before RAIT plays an equally vital role to that of pt-<sup>131</sup>I WBS in patients with DTC with bone metastasis. It may lead to the early detection of bone metastasis before RAIT and guide clinical management.
