We present a case of a post-thyroidectomy patient with ESRD on haemodialysis who required radioactive iodine ablation with review of literature.}, issn = {0091-4916}, URL = {https://tech.snmjournals.org/content/early/2021/12/06/jnmt.121.261979}, eprint = {https://tech.snmjournals.org/content/early/2021/12/06/jnmt.121.261979.full.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Nuclear Medicine Technology} }
