Correlation Between Cervical Uptake and Results of Postsurgical Radioiodine Ablation in Patients With Thyroid Carcinoma

Abstract

Postoperative measurement of cervical I-131 uptake could be a reasonable predictor of the success of the remnant ablation, and perhaps a guide in deciding the ablative dose of I-131, based on the inverse correlation between the uptake and ablation efficacy.
