Autoimmune Thyroid Disease, Congenital Hypothyroidism
Conditions
Brief summary
Prospective, open label single site study to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of Tc-99m pertechnetate produced by high energy cyclotron at CHUS.
Detailed description
The proposed clinical trial will be a prospective, case-controlled Phase I, open label, single site study. The first 10 consecutively enrolled patients will receive CYCLOTEC standard procedure thyroid imagery and an additional whole-body scans, and 20 subsequent case-matched controls, will receive GPERT and will also have additionnal whole body scan.

| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Biodistribution of Tc99m produced by high-energy cyclotron (CycloTec) | 6 months | Equivalence of biodistribution of Tc99m produced by high-energy cyclotron (CycloTec) will be compared to the biodistribution of the conventional Tc99m pertechnetated (Case match: 1 CycloTec patient vs. 2 conventional Tc99m-pertechnetate patients) |
