177Lutetium Labelled Macroaggregated Albumin Imaging and Treatment Effect in Patient with Cystic Thyroid Nodule.

There are number of different peptides and antibodies that have been labelled with Lutetium -177 and have been used in imaging and treatment for clinical usage. To our knowlodge, Lutetium-177 has never been labelled with MAA before. There was special effort exerted in the radiopharmacy laboratory of Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa, to bind Lu-177 with MAA. We present a patient with a cystic thyroid nodule and SThere are number of different peptides or antibodies that have been labelled with ¹⁷⁷Lutetium and have been used in imaging and treatment for clinical usage. To our knowlodge, ¹⁷⁷Lutetium has never been labelled with macroaggregated albumin (MAA) before. There was special effort exerted in the radiopharmacy laboratory of Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa, to bind ¹⁷⁷Lu with MAA (LUTMA). We present 43-year-old male patient with a cystic thyroid nodule and SPECT/CT imaging after intranodular ¹⁷⁷Lutetium labelled macroaggregated albumin injection and a treatment effect of this method.PECT/CT imaging after intranodular Lutetium-177 labeled macroaggregated albumin injection and a treatment effect of this method.
