🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The goal of the study is to evaluate a new imaging test that may allows the investigators to predict the uptake of radioactive iodine by thyroid cancer faster than the current standard and that does not interfere with the uptake of radioactive iodine used for therapy.

Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (15 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (6 items).

Check every box below. If you can check all of them, you may meet the study's basic screening requirements (final eligibility is confirmed by the site team).

Usually NOT eligible if any of the following apply:

  • Exclusion Criteria:
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • Pregnant, lactating, or breast feeding women.
  • Patients unable to follow a low iodine diet or requiring medication with high content in iodide (amiodarone).
  • Patients who received iodinated intravenous contrast as part of a radiographic procedure within 3 months of study registration. Those that have had iodinated intravenous contrast for CT imaging within this time frame may still be eligible if a urinary iodine analysis reveals that the excess iodine has been adequately cleared after the last intravenous contrast administration.
  • Unwillingness or inability to comply with study procedures.
