摘要：
Radioiodine is highly specific for detecting functioning thyroid tissue in the body. However, an unexpected radioiodine uptake can cause various false-positive results in whole-body scanning. We report a case of a 47-year-old woman who showed strong and focal uptake in the right pelvic area suggesting metastasis on the posttreatment whole-body scan. SPECT/CT revealed that the uptake was located in the colon, and the uptake was completely egested after additional bowel preparation.
