The MIBI is dead, long live the MIBI: revisiting 99mTcTc-Sestamibi thyroid scintigraphy in the era of ultrasound, cytology, molecular diagnostic, and 18 F-FDG PET/CT
Key Points
MIBI scintigraphy continues to hold diagnostic value despite advancements in ultrasound and cytology.
Key evidence shows that MIBI has specific advantages in certain cases, enhancing identification of thyroid conditions.
Observational analysis of diagnostic techniques highlights MIBI's unique contributions alongside modern imaging methodologies.
This analysis supports integrating MIBI into current diagnostic protocols, especially in select clinical contexts.
