Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma
Fig. 12.1 Medullary thyroid cancer in the right lobe. Nodule was assessed at ultrasonography as not suspicious: echotexture was spongiform and margins were regular (a). Elastography showed green color (b)…
Other Neuroendocrine Tumors of Head and Neck Region
Fig. 16.1 Well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor of the right middle ear detected by fused somatostatin receptor PET/CT. PET with somatostatin analogs labeled with gallium-68 (upper row) detected a focal area of…
Percutaneous Minimally Invasive Techniques
Fig. 4.1 (a) A single optic fiber, maintained in a still position, destroys only a small amount of tissue, e.g., 16–18 mm in length, 8–10 mm in width, and 8–10…
Thyroid Autonomy
Fig. 7.1 Axial computed tomography (a), ultrasonography (b), and color Doppler ultrasonography (c) images in a 70-year-old male patient with hyperthyroidism. Computed tomography (a) showed a large nodule (diameter of…
Nuclear Medicine Techniques
Fig. 2.1 Molecular basis of nuclear imaging of follicular thyroid cell. 18 F-FDG fluorodeoxyglucose, 18 F-FDG-6P fluorodeoxyglucose-6-phosphate, *I-Na radioiodine, 99m Tc-MIBI Tc99m-methoxyisobutylisonitrile, 99m TcO4 − Tc99m-pertechnetate, TSH thyroid stimulating hormone,…
Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Fig. 3.1 Enlarged and inhomogeneous thyroid mass with extension to the mediastinal region imaged by contrast-enhanced computed tomography (white arrows). Enlarged cervical and mediastinal lymph nodes are also evident (black…
