Limitations of thyroid scanning in solitary thyroid nodules

Irish Journal of Medical Science, 1994
During an 8-year period, 104 patients (19 males, 85 females) underwent surgery for a solitary thyroid nodule. There were 19 (18.3%) malignant nodules and 85 (81.7%) benign nodules. Malignancy occurred in 3 (15.8%) males and 16 (18.8%) females. Pre-operative scanning was performed prior to referral in 59 patients (52 had ultrasound, 41 had isotope ...

The role of thyroid scanning in hyperthyroidism

European Journal of Nuclear Medicine, 1986
Radionuclide thyroid imaging was performed in 872 consecutive patients with hyperthyroidism. Of these, 84% were found to have diffuse toxic hyperplasia (Graves' disease), while 12% had autonomously functioning nodules (Plummer's disease), 3% had Graves' disease developing in a multinodular gland, and in the remaining 1%, either a clear diagnosis could ...

Ultrasonic diffraction scanning of the thyroid

Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology, 1982
Abstract This paper reports the results of a preliminary clinical assessment of the value of ultrasonic diffraction analysis in identifying thyroid pathology. The trial involved 52 patients and nine normal volunteers and showed that, when used as a supplement to grey-scale B-scanning, diffraction analysis is capable of useful separation among several

PET Scan in Thyroid Cancer

PET Clinics, 2012
Patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma usually have a good prognosis; however, up to 40% of them may develop local recurrence. PET scanning has added new information on disease evaluation. The most appropriate indication to fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET scan is in evaluating patients with high thyroglobulin level when I-131 radioiodine whole ...

Thyroid nodules: diagnosis and management

Medical Journal of Australia, 2018
Thyroid nodules are common. Their importance lies in the need to assess thyroid function, degree of and future risk of mass effect, and exclude thyroid cancer, which occurs in 7-15% of thyroid nodules.

Positron Emission Tomography Imaging in Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma: Time for Reappraisal?

Thyroid, 2020
Medullary thyroid carcinomas (MTC) are rare neoplasms derived from calcitonin-secreting cells of the thyroid. They can occur sporadically or as part of the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 syndromes.
