Assessment of Thyroid Uptake Ratio Values in a Normal Population. Establishment of Normal Reference Values for 99mTc‐Pertechnetate Thyroid Uptake in an Australian Population

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
An Australian first, this study examined normal reference ranges for 99mTc‐pertechnetate thyroid uptake. Through a retrospective and prospective analysis, this study found a new reference range of 0.4%–2.4%. The findings suggest that locally derived reference values may differ from historical data and highlight the importance of region‐specific ...
