Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) of thyroid nodules has markedly reduced the role of thyroid scintigraphy. This is often limited to nondiagnostic or follicular (tumor) FNA classifications. In this ...

A scintiscan, or thyroid scintigraphy, uses radioactive iodine to image your thyroid gland and identify nodules. If a nodule is hyperfunctioning, it will absorb more radioactive material than ...

Based on guidelines used in 2005, after an indeterminate biopsy, an I-123 thyroid scintigraphy was obtained to exclude an autonomous nodule with a very low risk of malignancy. Despite a thyroid ...

Back to Healio Negative whole-body scintigraphy results are highly predictive of lower recurrence risk in pediatric patients with well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma. In the retrospective study ...

In the case of a suppressed level of serum thyrotropin, thyroid scintigraphy should be performed, since a functioning nodule almost invariably rules out cancer. In the case of a nondiagnostic FNAB ...

131 I thyroid scintigraphy showed a 24-hour thyroid uptake of 66%,with diffuse homogeneous distribution of the tracer. Ultra-sonography (US) showed an enlarged thyroid gland (estimated weight ...

A few areas of disagreement, such as the use of scintigraphy, are mostly due to ... be performed in all patients with suspected or known thyroid nodules to confirm the presence of thyroid nodule ...

The authors concluded that scintigraphy of the thyroid gland was suitable for risk stratification of iodine-induced hyperthyroidism in patients undergoing coronary angiography. However, thyroid ...

Thyroid scintigraphy (a diagnostic nuclear medicine test that provides information about the structure and function of the thyroid) is recommended if thyroid nodules are present, or the etiology ...

You may want to consider thyroid scintigraphy (with I 123) to evaluate this further. Whole-body scanning with I 131 is typically reserved for postoperative evaluation of patients with a history of ...
