Evaluation of thyroid ultrasound and Tc-pertechnetate scintigraphy side by side frequently produces ambiguous results regarding the correct assignment of anatomy and functionality of a nodule. We describe the usefulness of Tc-pertechnetate-SPECT/US-fusion imaging. A 75-year-old woman was referred for exclusion of cold nodules. After conventional diagnostics (in vitro thyroid parameters, B mode-US, planar Tc-pertechnetate-thyroid scintigraphy), a SPECT was performed using a conventional gamma camera. The SPECT data set was transferred to an ultrasound device (LOGIQ E9), and sensor-navigated 3D ultrasound was performed. Both data sets (SPECT/US) were fused in real time, revealing the exact functional state of multiple nodules.
甲状腺超声和 Tc-过锝酸盐闪烁显像并排评估常导致对结节的解剖和功能的正确分配产生模糊结果。我们描述了 Tc-过锝酸盐-SPECT/US 融合成像的用途。一名 75 岁女性因排除冷结节而被转介。在进行常规诊断（体外甲状腺参数、B 模式-US、平面 Tc-过锝酸盐甲状腺闪烁显像）后，使用常规伽马相机进行 SPECT。将 SPECT 数据集传输到超声设备（LOGIQ E9），并进行传感器导航 3D 超声检查。两个数据集（SPECT/US）实时融合，显示多个结节的确切功能状态。
