Whole-Body Scan for Thyroid Cancer Spread

Washington, DC rates for HCPCS 78018

This nuclear medicine scan uses a small amount of radioactive iodine to take pictures of the entire body, looking for thyroid cancer that has spread beyond the thyroid gland. It is typically done after the thyroid gland has already been removed, since remaining thyroid tissue and thyroid cancer cells are the main tissues that absorb the tracer.
