Overview
Other Imaging Findings
Thyroid Scan (radioiodine scintigraphy)
- Nuclear medicine can be used to image the thyroid with radioactive technetium (Tc) or iodine (I) imaging of the thyroid.[1]
Key Findings in Radioiodine Scintigraphy in Thyroid Adenoma
- Cold nodule
- Hot nodule
- An 123I scan showing a hot nodule, accompanied by a lower than normal TSH, is strong evidence that the nodule is not cancerous.
