Progressive Hydrocephalus Due to Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Infection: Detection With FDG PET CT.

abstract：PURPOSE OF THE REPORT:Autonomous functioning thyroid nodules (AFTN), defined as "hot nodules" at thyroid scan, are often cured by radioiodine treatment. The aim of our study was to investigate the long-term outcome in patients treated with an 131I calculated dose, to identify a possible "size-tailored" dose, and to sim...
