Abstract :
INTRODUCTION:Medullary thyroid cancer(MTC) is a type of thyroid cancer of neuroendocrine origin. It occurs in both heritable and sporadic forms. It originates from the parafollicular "C Cells" secreting Calcitonin and Carcino emyonic antigen(CEA). Conventional radiographic techniques such as CT SCAN, MRI, AND Ultrasonography are used to detect recurrence following total thyroidectomy. However metastatic disease frequently escapes from above modaltits even in the presence of increased serum calcitonin levels
