Abstract

Background Scanning with technetium-99m methoxyisobutylisonitrile (99mTc-MIBI) is recommended for evaluating thyroid nodule metabolism. In addition, it may help differentiate between benign and malignant nodules; however, the efficacy of this technique has not been fully elucidated. Therefore, it is not currently performed for routine clinical application. This prospective study was conducted to investigate the clinical significance of 99mTc-MIBI scintigraphy in the assessment of patients with cold thyroid nodules.
