Thyroid 99mTc-Pertechnetate Uptake: Simple and Accurate

A total of 981 consecutive thyroid uptake studies with Tc-Pertechnetate are reviewed. Of these, 258 patients underwent measurement of both Tc and I uptake. An accuracy rate of greater than 90% based on correlation with the I values as well as clinical and laboratory information clearly establishes t...

Zusammenfassung:A total of 981 consecutive thyroid uptake studies with Tc-Pertechnetate are reviewed. Of these, 258 patients underwent measurement of both Tc and I uptake. An accuracy rate of greater than 90% based on correlation with the I values as well as clinical and laboratory information clearly establishes the simplified Tc uptake study as a reliable index of thyroid function.
