Brief summary
The main purpose of the study is to establish a relationship between the administered activity of the radioiodine and absorbed dose in the tumor sites.
Detailed description
Study Design - the assessment of patients with multiple tumour sites with metastatic thyroid cancer to correlate the administered activity to absorbed dose. Patients will receive the standard therapy dose of 5.5 GBq as per the hospital policy and there will be no change for the protocol purpose.
Interventions
SPECT scan measures the amount of radio activity that is remaining in patients' body after the consumption of radio iodine for therapeutic purpose
