520 _aCONCLUSION: The results suggest a high patient variability in the overall absorbed dose to the normal organs per MBq of <sup>131</sup>I administered, between the two TSH stimulation methods. The tumor to dose-limiting-organ (bone marrow) absorbed dose ratio, i.e. the therapeutic index was higher in the THW-aided compared to rhTSH-aided administrations. Additional comparison for tumor and normal organ absorbed dose in patients prepared using both methods is needed before definitive conclusions may be drawn regarding rhTSH versus THW patient preparation methods for <sup>131</sup>I therapy of metastatic DTC.

520 _aMETHODS: Four DTC patients at MedStar Washington Hospital Center were first prepared using the rhTSH method and imaged by <sup>124</sup>I-PET/CT at 2, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hrs post-administration of approximately 30-63 MBq <sup>124</sup>I. After 5-8 weeks, the same patients were prepared using the THW method and imaged as before. The <sup>124</sup>I-PET/CT images acquired as part of a prospective study were used to perform retrospective dosimetric calculations for <sup>131</sup>I therapy for the normal organs using the dosimetry package 3D-RD. The Ds from <sup>131</sup>I for lungs, liver, heart, kidneys and bone marrow were obtained for each study (rhTSH and THW). A total of 22 lesions in three patients were identified. The contours were drawn on each PET image of each study. Time-integrated activity coefficients were calculated and used as input in OLINDA/EXM sphere dose calculator to obtain the absorbed dose to tumors.
520 _aPURPOSE: Patients with metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) may be prepared using either thyroid stimulating hormone withdrawal (THW) or recombinant human thyroid-stimulating hormone (rhTSH) injections prior to <sup>131</sup>I administration for treatment. The objective of this study was to compare the absorbed dose (D) to the critical organs and tumors determined by <sup>124</sup>I-Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) based dosimetry for <sup>131</sup>I therapy of metastatic DTC when the same patient was prepared with and imaged after both THW and rhTSH injections.
520 _aRESULTS: The THW-to-rhTSH organ absorbed dose ratio averaged over five organs for the first three patients was 1.5, 2.5 and 0.64, respectively, and averaged over three organs for the fourth patient was 1.1. The absorbed dose per unit administered activity to the bone marrow was 0.13, 0.086, 0.33 and 0.068 mGy/MBq following rhTSH, and 0.11, 0.14, 0.22 and 0.080 mGy/MBq following THW for each patient, respectively. With the exception of three lesions of one patient, the D per unit administered activity of <sup>131</sup>I was higher in the THW study compared to the rhTSH study. The ratio of the average tumor D after stimulation by THW compared to stimulation by rhTSH injections was 3.9, 27 and 1.4, for Pt1, Pt2 and Pt3, respectively. The ratio of mean tumor to bone marrow absorbed dose per unit administered activity of <sup>131</sup>I, after THW and rhTSH was: 232 and 62 (Pt1); 12 and 0.78 (Pt2); 22 and 11 (Pt3), respectively.
