Indications
The medicinal product is used:
- in the diagnosis of thyroid function disorders (hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism), evaluation of thyroid tissue location (including ectopy), its size, shape, functional analysis of focal lesions: “cold” (not trapping iodine), “warm” (trapping iodine at a similar extent to normal thyroid parenchyma), “hot” (trapping iodine at a higher extent than the normal thyroid parenchyma) nodules.
- to study radioiodine location in thyroid tissue
- an estimation of the thyroid uptake and the iodine effective half-life can be used to calculate the dose of radioiodine planned for therapy.
- in the management of patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma in order to identify the remaining thyroid tissue after surgery and in the diagnostics of metastases.
- in the treatment of benign thyroid diseases: thyroid nodular goitre, hyperthyroidism in the Graves-Basedow’s disease, autonomic nodule, the toxic multinodular goiter, differentiated thyroid cancer, for the thyroid residue ablation after surgery and in the treatment of iodine-accumulating metastases.
