  • Dramatic parotid uptake of I-131 on a diagnostic whole-body scan.

    Carlisle MR, McDougall IR. Clin Nucl Med. 2000; 25 (11): 895-7

    Radiation sialadenitis is a complication of I-131 therapy for thyroid cancer. They authors report a case of intense uptake by parotid glands in a diagnostic I-131 scan (2 mCi) in whom sialadenitis had developed previously after a 100-mCi dose of I-131. Similar examples of images could not be found in the literature.
