Overview
Radionuclide imaging and quantitative radioisotopic uptake studies are always required to establish the diagnosis of toxic adenoma or toxic nodular goiter. Radionuclide imaging can be performed with radioactive iodine-123 or with technetium-99m. In patients with hyperthyroidism caused by a toxic adenoma, there is a characteristic restriction of radionuclide uptake to the responsible hyperfunctioning nodule with suppression of radionuclide uptake in the remainder of the gland.
Other Imaging Findings
- Radionuclide imaging and quantitative radioisotopic uptake studies are always required to establish the diagnosis of toxic adenoma or toxic nodular goiter.[1]
- Radionuclide imaging can be performed with radioactive iodine-123 or with technetium-99m.[2][3]
- Radionuclide imaging performed with iodine-123 or technetium-99m, are trapped by the sodium-iodide symporter in functioning thyroid tissue, although only radioiodine is subsequently organified.
- In patients with hyperthyroidism caused by a toxic adenoma, there is a characteristic restriction of radionuclide uptake to the responsible hyperfunctioning nodule with suppression of radionuclide uptake in the remainder of the gland.
- In a patient with a low serum TSH concentration, not only does the scan appearance support the diagnosis of toxic adenoma, but in almost all cases it also excludes malignancy in the nodule.
- If some thyroid nodules are hypo-functioning, it is necessary to rule out cancer by fine-needle aspiration cytology.
