Personalized Medicine Based on Theranostic Radioiodine Molecular Imaging for Differentiated Thyroid Cancer

Figure 2

Patients A and B were diagnosed with thyroid cancer with pulmonary metastases (indicated by arrows) by pretreatment diagnostic CT imaging. Radioiodine imaging was able to forecast the therapeutic response to I-131 treatment. Patient A showed obvious uptake on radioiodine imaging and achieved complete remission after three I-131 treatments; however, patient B showed no radioiodine uptake on the imaging and progressed to disease status after I-131 treatment.
