Abstract: Introduction The aim of 99mTc thyroid scintigraphy using pinhole collimator is to differentiate thyroid nodules (hot/cold). The diagnostic reference level is 80 MBq [1] , which is 87% lower than the activity currently injected in clinical… read more here.

Abstract: ABSTRACT 99mTc-sestamibi thyroid scintigraphy (STS) can aid in differentiating between types 1 and 2 amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis (AIT). We present a consecutive case series of 4 men (aged 56-75 years) in whom both 99mTc-STS and thyroid… read more here.

Abstract: Introduction UK screening for congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is based on dried blood spot Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH). Scintigraphy may identify CH subtypes classified as dysplasia, gland in situ (GIS) and ectopia, but is not performed… read more here.

DOI: 10.2147/ijgm.s375016
Abstract: Background Thyrotoxicosis may be caused by Graves’ disease or destructive thyroiditis. Differentiation between causes of thyrotoxicosis is crucial as management will differ. 99mTechnetium (Tc)-pertechnetate thyroid scintigraphy is currently the gold standard for this purpose, however,… read more here.
