Increased localization of 201 Tl-chloride in subacute thyroiditis.
We present two cases of subacute thyroiditis in which increased radionuclide activity in the affected areas was observed on 201 Tl thyroid scintigrams. These were taken to evaluate cold areas on the 99m Tc-pertechnetate thyroid scintigrams. This finding suggests that 201 Tl may be a potentially useful radionuclide in visualizing inflammatory lesions.

Clinical application of 201Tl scintigraphy in patients with cold thyroid nodules.
201Tl-chloride scintigraphy was performed in 45 patients with cold thyroid nodules. The 201Tl scintigram was positive in 17 of 18 thyroid patients with cancer (94.4%), 8 of 20 patients with an ademoma (40.0%), 1 of 2 adenomatous goiter patients (50.0%), and all of 5 cases of chronic thyroiditis (100.0%). When the cold nodule was demonstrated to be positive with 201Tl, the statistical chance of the lesion being a cellular one was 100.0% and a risk of its malignancy was 54.8%. On the other hand, the nodule with negative 201Tl concentration had a 14.3% chance of cellularity and a 7.1% risk of malignancy. Thus, 201Tl scintigraphy is of use in the differential diagnosis of the cold thyroid nodule.

Delayed visualization of gallbladder with in vivo labeled Tc-99m-red blood cell scintigraphy for gastrointestinal bleeding.
A case of a 78-year-old man with delayed visualization of the gallbladder during in vivo labeling for 99mTc-red blood cell scintigraphy for gastrointestinal bleeding is reported. The patient had several episodes of renal failure, melena, anemia, blood transfusion, and hemodialysis. The mechanism of this unusual phenomenon is not clear; however, excess binding of heme and 99mTc-pertechnetate caused by autohemolysis and oliguria are suggested to be the main factor in this phenomenon.
