Utility of I-124 PET/CT in identifying radioiodine avid lesions in differentiated thyroid cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

I-124 PET/CT is a sensitive tool to diagnose RAI avid DTC lesions, but also detects some new lesions that are not visualized on the post-treatment I-131 scan. Further, carefully designed dosimetric studies may be required to fully establish the role of I-124 PET CT for identifying potential lesions for I-131 therapy. I-124 PET/CT in patients with DTC may have other applications in specific clinical situations.
