Q

Fischetti et al: Effect of methimazole on uptake of 99mTcO4 in hyperthyroid cats; Is 99mTc04 organified?

A

No and therefore should not be affected by methimazole treatment… HOWEVER, there was a paper that said that methimazole in normal cats did have increased uptake of 99mTcO4 and 123I. This was done due to increased TSH and thus increased trapping of the radiopharms.

Q

Fischetti et al: Effect of methimazole on uptake of 99mTcO4 in hyperthyroid cats; Why do they think methimazole will not increase TSH and therefore not increase RU in hyperthyroid cats?

A

Because hyperthyroid cats have suppressed TSH.. Therefore only prolonged T4 suppression would cause TSH to rise back up again.

Q

Fischetti et al: Effect of methimazole on uptake of 99mTcO4 in hyperthyroid cats; What was the one problem with 99mTcO4 scans and methimazole when discussing unilateral disease?

A

Sometimes the methimazole causes increase of TSH because of blocking of the T4. This causes the previous suppressed lobe to start uptaking iodine again because it is no longer suppressed.

SO YOU MIGHT HAVE BILATERAL UPTAKE IN UNILATERAL DISEASE. This can cause problems when discussing treatment options.
