The investigation of thyroid disease has changed dramatically during the last 60 years. With the change from clinical assessment alone to sophisticated imaging and in vitro techniques we now can readily diagnose and treat many of the pediatric thyroid diseases. With the introduction of radioactive ...
Nuclear medicine is the name given to the branch of medicine that uses radioactive materials that have not been sealed for diagnosis and therapy. It became a specialty in the 1950s, when more sophisticated imaging devices were invented. In the UAE, the start was in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, ...
The ablation should also be followed by a total body scintigraphy (post-therapeutic whole-body scan), performed ~5–7 days after the administration of the radioiodine, in order to detect or confirm the presence of functional metastases. Lastly, thyroid hormone replacement, the third treatment ...

In this first in a series of two articles, the role of nuclear medicine is discussed in the evaluation of diseases of the salivary and parathyroid glands, and in the identification and staging of head and neck tumors. Radionuclide studies of the salivary glands are useful in the identification...
Functioning microvillous adenoma of the parathyroid gland containing nuclear pores and annulate lamellaedoi:10.1016/S0046-8177(85)80090-3The cytoplasmic membranes of chief cells in parathyroid adenomas from patients with primary hyperparathyroidism associated with either severe or mild hypercalcemia were ...
A request for parathyroid radionuclide imaging must be submitted to a nuclear medicine physician. It should provide sufficient data to allow the responsible nuclear medicine physician to assess the indication for the scan adequately, as well as to interpret the images. ...
SPECT/CT scans were reviewed by the same two nuclear medicine physicians who were blinded to the planar findings and other clinical factors. Positive parathyroid lesion visualization was defined as nodular uptake higher than thyroid parenchyma in the parathyroid lesion seen on CT component of SPECT/...
