The false-positive radioiodine I-131 uptake in the foreign body granuloma located in gluteal adipose tissue

摘要

BackgroundThe purpose of using a whole-body scanning after the radioactive I-131 treatment is to screen functional residual or metastatic thyroid tissues. In whole-body scanning of some patients, false positive radioiodine I-131 uptakes may be seen in physiological uptake regions or atypical localizations.
