Incidence of Incidental Thyroid Nodules on Computed Tomography (CT) Scan of the Chest Performed for Reasons other than Thyroid DiseaseThyroid Nodule DetectionPrevious studies demonstrate an approximately 16% incidence of incidental thyroid nodules (ITNs) on Computed To-mography (CT) of the head/neck...
Ad Athyroidnodule is a solid or fluid-filled lump found within the thyroid. The majority of thyroid nodules are small, can't be felt by touch and do not cause symptoms. They are caused by an overgrowth of cells in thethyroid gland. In a few people, the nodules grow and cause symptoms...
Serum TSH should be measured in all patients with thyroid nodules. In patients with low TSH levels, radionuclide thyroid scan should be performed next to assess the functional status of the nodule. In a patient with a thyroid nodule, an increased serum TSH or TSH even in the upper limit of...
On functional grounds, nodules are classified as either “cold,”“normal,” or “hot,” depending on whether they show decreased, normal, or increased uptake on scintiscan. Approximately 50–85% of all nodules are “cold,” up to 40% are scintigraphically indifferent and about 10% are “...
The thyroid scan is a nuclear medicine study performed to assess thyroid size, shape, position, and function. It is useful for evaluating thyroid nodules, multinodular goiter, and thyroiditis; assisting in the differential diagnosis of masses in the neck, base of the tongue, and mediastinum; and...

Initially, I was diagnosed with a very suspicious nodule in my left thyroid lobe and a Thyroglossal Duct Cyst, both requiring removal.After a CT scan, it was determined that, due to the high likelihood of cancer, the best approach for me would be a total thyroidectomy instead of the ...

She started with having elevated TPO antibodies and saw that her nodule had consistently increased in size with every subsequent ultrasound scan. Deciding to take her health into her own hands, she removed gluten and dairy (two common food sensitivities in those with Hashimoto’s) from her diet...
