title: Visualization of Lymph Nodal and Hepatic Metastases of Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma on 18F-Fluoride PET/CT.
abstract: F-fluoride uptake in soft tissue metastases has been previously described. Herein, we report a case of F-fluoride uptake in lymph nodal and hepatic metastases of medullary thyroid carcinoma. Simultaneous CT showed calcified lesions in these regions.
