TENIS (thyroglobulin elevation with negative iodine scintigraphy) syndrome in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma is not a rare finding. In such patients, F-FDG PET/CT can help in disease evaluation. RGD tripeptide, used for imaging angiogenesis, may also help in disease detection in patients with negative radioiodine whole-body scan. We present 1 such case in whom Ga-RGD tripeptide imaging was helpful in disease detection in the setting of negative radioiodine whole-body scan.
分化型甲状腺癌患者的 TENIS(甲状腺球蛋白升高伴阴性碘闪烁扫描)综合征并不少见。在这些患者中,F-FDG PET/CT 有助于疾病评估。用于成像血管生成的 RGD 三肽也可能有助于发现全身放射性碘扫描阴性的患者中的疾病。我们报告了 1 例此类病例,在全身放射性碘扫描阴性的情况下,Ga-RGD 三肽成像有助于发现疾病。
