Analysis of differentiated thyroid cancer false-positive uptake in abdominal cavity and pelvic cavity on radioiodine whole-body scan

When it comes to ¹³¹I radioiodine whole-body scan, normal thyroid tissue and differentiated thyroid cancer(DTC) can uptake radioiodine, so does the non-thyroid tissue to some extent. The understanding of the possible explanations for the abnormal radioiodine uptake in the abdominal cavity and pelvic cavity tissue on I-131 radioiodine whole-body scan is of great importance to clinical diagnosis. The relevant reports about this field are reviewed.
