Comparative thyroid gland volume by two methods: Ultrasonography and planar scintigraphy
BACKGROUND Knowledge of thyroid gland volume plays a key role in the treatment of thyroid diseases by radioactive iodine 131I. Radioiodine therapy is a routine procedure of treatment hyperthyroidism for over 50 years. MATERIAL/METHODS Today modern diagnostic has a number of medical diagnostics instruments whose using to estimate of thyroid volume. Undoubtedly these method we can include a ult...
متن کاملUltrasonographic Volumetry of the Canine Thyroid Gland: A Comparison of 2D, 3D Ultrasonography and Real Gland Volume
Objective: to compare the estimated thyroid volume, as determined by two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonography, with real volume. Design: Descriptive Study Animals: A total of 7 mixed breed dogs Procedures: On 2D ultrasound, the thyroid volume is estimated by the ellipsoid equation and on 3D ultrasound; it is estimated by outlining the boundaries of the thyroid lobe in ...
متن کاملComparative methods for quantifying thyroid volume using planar imaging and SPECT.
UNLABELLED SPECT enables improved accuracy over planar imaging in the determination of the volume since it is derived from three-dimensional data rather than from a two-dimensional projection with a certain geometric assumption regarding the thyroid configuration. METHODS By using the phantoms of known volume, it was possible to estimate the accuracy of three different methods of determining ...
متن کاملA survey of thyroid gland scintigraphy.
UNLABELLED The Society of Nuclear Medicine (SNM) published procedure guidelines for thyroid imaging in 1999. We wished to determine how many clinics performing thyroid imaging follow the guidelines and to what extent. Of particular interest to us was the choice of collimator. METHODS We developed a 10-question survey to obtain information on how hospitals perform thyroid imaging. The question...
متن کاملPitfalls in the diagnosis of thyroid dysgenesis by thyroid ultrasonography and scintigraphy.
OBJECTIVES We aimed to investigate the reliability of thyroid ultrasonography (US) and scintigraphy in determining the type of thyroid dysgenesis (TD). METHODS The study included 82 children (8.0±5.6 years) with a diagnosis of TD by thyroid scintigraphy with (99m)Tc and/or US. The patients were re-evaluated 6.0±5.1 years after the diagnosis. Thyroid US was performed in all cases, regardless o...
