Example of dual-isotope ^99mTc-tetrofosmin and ¹²³I sodium iodide single-photon-emission-computed-tomography (SPECT).

<p>^<b>123</b>I sodium iodide image (middle panel) was semi-manually normalized to ^<b>99m</b>Tc-tetrofosmin image (upper panel) and afterwards subtracted from it (lower panel). Adenoma was detected at the right lower pole of the thyroid and patient received minimal invasive surgery (duration of surgery 90 minutes).</p
