18F-Flourodeoxy glucose PET-computed tomography in testicular carcinoma: diagnostic and prognostic value.

abstract：:The standard nuclear medicine textbooks describe the pyramidal lobe of the thyroid as arising from the upper part of the thyroid lobes. Anatomy and surgical texts however describe it as a thyroglossal tract remnant and state that it arises from the isthmus. Review of 150 thyroid scintigrams confirms that on scintigrap...
