Abstract

The RAIR ((131)I WBS-negative/thyroglobulin-positive) metastatic lesions can be traced using (99m)Tc-3PRGD2 imaging, meaning these lesions are highly neovascularized. (99m)Tc-3PRGD2 angiogenesis imaging can be used for the localization and growth evaluation of RAIR lesions, providing a new therapeutic target and a novel imaging modality to monitor the efficacy of certain antiangiogenetic therapy.
