abstract：:Although several hypotheses have been suggested regarding the accumulation of 99Tc(m)-sestamibi in tumours, the exact uptake mechanism is still a matter of discussion. We investigated ultrastructural cell type of thyroid tumours by electron microscopy (EM) and compared them with uptake of 99Tc(m)-sestamibi. Thyroid sc...
