Abstract
- Although sonography (US) and cytology (fine-needle aspiration, FNA) play the principal role in the diagnosis of thyroid nodules, thyroid scintigraphy remains an important tool for guiding clinical decisions in thyroid diseases. Thyroid scintigraphy is so used in the diagnosis of the cause of a patient's hyperthyroidism (Graves' disease, thyroid autonomy, subacute, silent and post-partum thyroiditis, etc.), in the evaluation of selected patients with thyroid nodules and in the identification of normal and ectopic thyroid tissue (neonatal hypothyroidism).
