The authors describe a case of suppressed normal thyroid tissue in a patient with autonomous toxic nodule, which was visualized by a Tc-99m MIBI thyroid scan without thyrotropin (TSH) stimulation. The findings suggest that Tc-99m MIBI can be a substitute for conventional thyroid imaging using I-131 to visualize suppressed normal thyroid tissue without TSH stimulation and its side effects. |
