Other diagnostic studies for follicular thyroid cancer include radioiodine scan, which demonstrates increased uptake of radioactive iodine at the areas of metastases and [[laryngoscopy]] which demonstrates vocal cord immobility.  
There are no other imaging findings associated with follicular thyroid cancer.
==Key Findings in Radioiodine scan in Follicular Thyroid Cancer==
==Other Imaging Finding==
* [[Metastases]] can be detected by radioiodine scan of the whole body as locations of increased uptake of radioactive iodine.
There are no other imaging findings associated with follicular thyroid cancer.

==Key Findings in Laryngoscopy==
* [[Laryngoscopy]] is a procedure in which the doctor checks the larynx (voice box) with a mirror or with a [[laryngoscope]]. A [[laryngoscope]] is a thin, tube-like instrument with a light and a lens for viewing. A thyroid tumor may press on [[vocal cord|vocal cords]]. The [[laryngoscopy]] is done to see if the vocal cords are moving normally. The following features may be noted.
:* Vocal cord immobility
:* Air way compression
