Laparoscopic versus conventional cholecystectomy. Use of biliary scintigraphy.

abstract：ABSTRACT:A 64-year-old woman with metastatic papillary thyroid cancer underwent a total thyroidectomy followed by 2 courses of 131I therapy. The posttherapeutic whole-body scan after the second dose of 131I therapy showed multifocal bone metastasis. In addition, there is focal abnormal intense radiotracer uptake at the...
