Abstract
1. The sensitivity of MIBI reached 89.46%. In the absence of thyroid nodules, MIBI diagnosed 100% of single lesions. Pathological thyroid processes produced false-positive results (5.2%) and there were diagnostic errors (4%). 2. MIBI scintigraphy was more sensitive than US and CAT. 3. Positive, single image scintigraphy allows a selective cervical approach. US and CAT may help to save a further 8% of patients (with negative scintigraphy).
