Indications
This product is used for:
- 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 normal thyroid parenchyma) nodules,
- to study radioiodine location in thyroid tissue. An estimation of the thyroid uptake and its effective half-life can be used to calculate the dose absorbed from the activity of radioiodine planned for therapy,
- in the management of patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma to identify the remaining thyroid tissue and in the metastases diagnostics.
