Optimizing Somatostatin Receptor Imaging in Patients With Neuroendocrine Tumors: The Impact of 99mTc-HYNICTOC SPECT/SPECT/CT Versus 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT Upon Clinical Management.

abstract：:Ocular metastases secondary to thyroid cancer are extremely uncommon, typically affecting the orbit rather than the globe and uvea. Within the uveal structures, the choroid is more commonly involved than the iris and ciliary body. We present a 56-year-old male patient who underwent total thyroidectomy for metastatic p...
