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 ...

Value‐Based Neuromonitoring in Thyroidectomy: A Comprehensive Cost–Utility Analysis
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective To compare the cost–utility of major intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) strategies in thyroidectomy across commercial platforms, and to quantify the impact of continuous IONM (CIONM), automated nerve trend monitoring, postoperative laryngoscopy policy, and technical failure on total episode costs and medicolegal burden.
