Excerpt

We are grateful to Vrachimis et al. for their careful reading of our article “Imaging with 124I in differentiated thyroid carcinoma: is PET/MRI superior to PET/CT?”. They correctly observed that in our study the patients were scanned with arms down on PET/MRI, whereas the PET/CT was performed with arms up. We appreciate that they point out possible issues with regard to the different arm positions. However, we cannot follow their assertion that the higher detection rate of 124I-positive DTC lesions on neck PET/MRI compared to PET/CT was primarily caused by the arm position and not by the higher sensitivity of the PET component of the PET/MRI system. …
