Book Chapter
Nuclear Medicine in Evaluation and Therapy of Nodular Thyroid
2017
Overview
In current practice, thyroid scintigraphy is predominantly used for thyroid nodules in patients with subnormal TSH. We present radiopharmaceuticals used for imaging and therapy and describe imaging procedures and interpretation of findings. Differences between European and US practices are addressed. Patient preparation and instructions prior to nuclear thyroid imaging and therapy are described. We discuss the current indications for radioiodine therapy of benign nodular disease, how the administered dosage is determined, and the results and complications of radioiodine treatment. Nuclear medicine evaluation of nodular thyroid in children is addressed briefly. The potential role of nuclear medicine imaging in the differentiation of benign from malignant follicular lesions is reviewed. Lastly, how to approach incidental finding of increased uptake of 18F-FDG in a thyroid nodule is discussed.
