X-ray fluorescence and potentiometry compared for determining iodine content of thyroid glands.

چکیده
We compare results for iodine quantitation by x-ray fluorescence of excised thyroid glands with results of the quantitation by means of an original, newly developed chemical method, a Schöniger combustion technique, in which iodie is quantitated potentiometrically. Subsequently, we establish the accuracy and clinical suitability of the former technique in quantifying the intrathyroidal iodine.

Determination of intrathyroidal iodine by X-ray fluorescence analysis in 60- to 65-year olds living in an iodine-sufficient area.
OBJECTIVES X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is a non-invasive method for determining the iodine content of the thyroid gland in vivo. In spite of the obvious clinical value of such a method in situations of iodine deficiency or iodine overload, the method has not so far been widely used. The objective was to investigate the applicability of the XRF method in a larger number of subjects. DESIGN AND SU...
متن کاملIodine Content and Distribution in Thyroid Specimens from Two Patients with Graves' Disease Pretreated with Either Propylthiouracil or Stable Iodine: Analysis Using X-Ray Fluorescence and Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry
Patients with Graves' disease can be medically prepared before surgery in different ways, which may have various effects on iodine stores. Thyroid specimens were collected at surgery from two patients pretreated with propylthiouracil (PTU) and stable iodine, respectively. A quantitative analysis of iodine content was performed using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) in frozen tissue and a qualitative an...
متن کاملDetermining the Content of Silicon Dioxide in Bauxites Using X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry
The X-ray fluorescence spectrometry and the MA.BM.006 reference spectrophotometric methods were used to determine the content of SiO2 (%) in bauxites from different deposits. The treatment of samples prior to the analysis involved the following steps: annealing, melting using the borax method, and the formation of beads. Certified reference bauxite samples were used for the cali...
متن کاملEvaluation of energy spectrum CT for the measurement of thyroid iodine content
BACKGROUND This study aims to provide a reference for the diagnosis of iodine deficiency disorder by evaluating the normal thyroid iodine content by energy spectrum computed tomography (CT) and calculating the iodine content ratio of thyroid to sternocleidomastoid. METHODS The thyroid glands of 226 patients were scanned by energy spectrum CT, and the images were analyzed using the GSI Viewer ...
متن کاملSample Preparation for in vitro Analysis of Iodine in Thyroid Tissue using X-ray Fluorescence
Iodine is enriched and stored in the thyroid gland. Due to several factors, the size of the thyroid iodine pool varies both between individuals and within individuals over time. Excess iodine as well as iodine deficiency may promote thyroid cancer. Therefore, knowledge of iodine content and distribution within thyroid cancer tissue is of interest. X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) and secondary...
