Description
Secondary obliteration of the lacrimal duct obstruction (SALDO) is one of radioiodine therapy complications in differentiated thyroid cancer observed in 9% of cases [1]. Development of methods for the prevention of SALDO one of the urgent tasks facing radiology and ophthalmology [2]. We analyzed the frequency of 131-iodine uptake nasolacrimal ducts in 203 patients on 72 h. after 131-iodine administration. Patients were divided in two groups according type of preparation to the radioiodine therapy: 103 used classic levothyroxine withdrawal for 3 weeks, 100 used recombinant human thyroid stimulating hormone to increase TSH level. Image segmentation method was developed for static 131-iodine scintigraphy of head and neck. Additionally, we made an attempt to highlight several groups of risk to develop SALDO in patients undergoing 131-iodine therapy.
