Molecular imaging as a tool for evaluation of COVID-19 sequelae – A review of literature

Figure 3 Coronavirus disease 2019 related thyroiditis. A 36-year-old male had complaints of painful neck swelling and fever for 1 wk and a past history of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) (2 mo ago). His serum TSH levels were found to be suppressed (0.013 microIU/mL). With a clinical suspicion of thyroiditis, he was referred for thyroid scintigraphy, which revealed very faint heterogeneous tracer uptake in the region of the thyroid and increased background tracer activity. In the given clinical and biochemical context, scan findings were suggestive of COVID-19 related thyroiditis.
