- FIGURE 1.
Sagittal T1-weighted spinecho image of thoracic spine. Note space-occupying lesion in third thoracic vertebra compressing spinal cord. SP = spinal cord.
- FIGURE 2.
Conventional hematoxylin-eosin staining of space-occupying lesion of Figure 1 shows numerous cells from well-differentiated follicular carcinoma. Original magnification, 400×.
- FIGURE 3.
Whole-body scans from anterior views (top row) and spot images from left lateral views (bottom row). Images obtained after first radioiodine therapy (A) show 2 foci of intense iodine uptake (arrows) in thyroid bed and in thoracic spine, whereas images obtained 3 mo later after second radioiodine therapy (C) show significantly decreased iodine avidity in both lesions (arrows), thereby demonstrating therapeutic efficacy. (B) PET images obtained after first radioiodine therapy show no increased glucose metabolism in thyroid bed or in thoracic spine (arrows) but in lateral cervical muscles.
