Abstract
Radioiodine ablation with iodine-131 is a standard therapeutic procedure for patients diagnosed with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). We present a contamination artifact on whole-body scan (WBS), after radioiodine ablation due to papillary thyroid carcinoma. The hybrid imaging resolved the question of metastasis versus contamination.
