  • Clinical implications of the differences between diagnostic 123I and post-therapy 131I scans.

    Cohen JB, Kalinyak JE, McDougall IR. Nucl Med Commun. 2004; 25 (2): 129-34

    123I has been promoted for diagnostic imaging as a means of avoiding 'stunning'. It has also been suggested that the more favourable physical characteristics and consequent enhanced imaging resolution provided by 123I offers a more accurate diagnostic assessment of the extent of disease prior to therapy. This study evaluated pairs of diagnostic 123I and post-therapy 131I scans for differences in patterns of radioiodine uptake.
