Nuclear Thyroid Scan What to Expect & How It Works

Description:

A nuclear thyroid scan is a diagnostic imaging test that evaluates thyroid function and detects abnormalities using a small amount of radioactive material. This scan helps diagnose conditions such as hyperthyroidism, thyroid nodules, and cancer.

What to Expect & How It Works
A small dose of radioactive iodine or technetium is administered, either orally or through an injection.
The thyroid gland absorbs the radioactive material, allowing a gamma camera to capture detailed images.
The scan helps assess thyroid size, shape, and function.
It is a painless procedure with minimal radiation exposure.
Patients may need to avoid certain foods and medications before the scan.

Conclusion
A nuclear thyroid scan is a safe and effective way to evaluate thyroid function and detect potential issues. Understanding the procedure can help patients feel prepared and informed before the test.
