Determination of thyroid volume by ultrasonic scanning
Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, 1974AbstractA method for thyroid volume calculation based upon ultrasonic scanning is described. The accuracy of the method was estimated by comparing ultrasonically determined volumes with the volumes of surgically removed thyroid glands. The precision (i.e., reproducibility) was estimated by comparing the ultrasonic volumes determined by two separate ...

Rectilinear Thyroid Scanning as a Predictor of Malignancy
Annals of Internal Medicine, 1978Rectilinear scan findings were correlated with the surgically documented size, location, and histology of thyroid carcinoma in 67 patients. At the site of the carcinoma, 36 (54%) had hypofunction, associated with a palpable abnormality in all but one patient; 16 (24%) had an abnormality on palpation but not on scanning; 11 (16%) had both a normal ...

Thyroid Scanning with Technetium 99m Pertechnetate
Radiology, 1968Technetium 99m pertechnetate (99mTcO4−) is a useful radioactive label for thyroid scanning. It is of particular merit when emphasis is placed upon a low dose of thyroid radiation, optimal resolution, and scanning of thyroid glands in which function is decreased or partly blocked. Harper et at. (4) reported the first pertechnetate scan of the thyroid in

Incidence of a Pyramidal Lobe on Thyroid Scans
Clinical Nuclear Medicine, 1982Gamma camera pertechnetate and radioiodine thyroid scans were reviewed to determine the incidence of recognition of a pyramidal lobe. Ten to 17% of "normals" and of patients with various thyroid disease states had a pyramidal lobe on their scans. However, in patients with diffuse toxic goiter, 43% had a pyramidal lobe on the thyroid images.

Technetium Pertechnetate as a Thyroid Scanning Agent
Radiology, 1968131I is the accepted thyroid scanning agent in spite of the substantial radiation dose administered to the gland. Other isotopes of iodine (1,2) have been suggested but none have proved ideal. When Harper (3) introduced technetium 99m it was shown that satisfactory thyroid scans were possible with a marked reduction in the radiation dose (4–6). Because

A water bath for thyroid scanning with ultrasound
The British Journal of Radiology, 1981Ultrasound examinations of the thyroid and parathyroid glands are becoming more frequent. Although contact scanning is still preferred by some, most ultrasonographers employ a water bath. The conventional water bath consists of a metal frame with a plastic or polythene sheet. This costs £368 and is somewhat cumbersome to use.
