Visualization of Jugular Vein on a Thallium-201 Scan for Thyroid Cancer

A 52 year-old woman with recurrent thyroid cancer showed an accumulation of TI-201 chloride in the left side of the neck. This proved to be reflux and retention of TI-201 chloride in the left internal jugular vein and was verified with a Tc-99m HSA flow study. This phenomenon could be mistaken for m...

Zusammenfassung:	A 52 year-old woman with recurrent thyroid cancer showed an accumulation of TI-201 chloride in the left side of the neck. This proved to be reflux and retention of TI-201 chloride in the left internal jugular vein and was verified with a Tc-99m HSA flow study. This phenomenon could be mistaken for metastases of thyroid cancer.
