TSI (thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin or TRAb (thyrotropin receptor antibodies):antibodies often found in the blood when Graves’ disease is the cause of hyperthyroidism. Radioactive iodine uptake (RAIU):a measurement of how much iodine the thyroid gland can collect, and thyroid scan, which shows...
T4 by RIA (radioimmunoassay) is the most used thyroid test of all. It is frequently referred to as a T7, which means that a resin T3 uptake (RT3u) has been done to correct for certain medications such as birth control pills, other hormones, seizure medication, cardiac drugs, or even a...

Moura EG. What need is there for standardization of thyroid uptake or scintigraphy using 99mTc pertechnetate in thyroid disease diagnosis? Sao Paulo Med J 2002; 120: 36-37.Egberto Gaspar de Moura: What need is there for standardization of thyroid uptake or scintigraphy using 99mTc pertechnetate...
Aradioactive iodine uptake testthat uses small doses of radioactive iodine to watch how much of it is taken up into your thyroid from your bloodstream. Your body normally uses iodine to make thyroid hormones. So, if it takes in a lot of the radioactive iodine, it is a sign that it is...
Aim:FDG-PET and MIBI-scintigraphy with SPECT were compared to [131I]-whole-body scintigraphy (WBS) and morphologic imaging in the follow-up of differentiated thyroid cancer. Their influence on therapy-planning was analysed.Methods:In 50 consecutive patients (papillary/ follicular/variants of a foll...
(e.g., respiration), which leads to a smearing of the tracer uptake and a resulting contrast that is insufficient to delineate the lesion. Additionally, high uptake in adjacent tissues can diminish contrast and, therefore, sensitivity for lesion detection. The strengths and weaknesses of each ...
Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a neoplasm originating from parafollicular C cells. MTC is a rare disease, but its prognosis is less favorable than that of well-differentiated thyroid cancers. To improve the prognosis of patients with MTC, early diagnosis and prompt therapeutic management are...
study in King Khalid University Hospital (KKUH) of King Saud University (KSU) located in Riyadh, where we retrieved relevant medical information from the Medical Record Department of KKUH looking at medical records of all patients who underwent a thyroid uptake scan during an eight-year duration...
such as turkey, chicken or tuna. It’s best not to over-consume protein to increase tryptophan uptake — the best way to increase levels in your brain is to eat balanced meals that include some complex carbs, protein and fat. Having these with dinner may help you feel sleepier afterwards...
