Thyroid Scintigraphy (Tc99m / I123 / I131) procedure in nuclear medicine to detect metastases/function of thyroid, the isotopes iodine-131, iodine-123 or technetium-99m is generally used, and for this purpose the iodide isotopes does not need to be attached to another protein or molecule, because thyroid tissue takes up free iodide actively.
Nuclear medicine imaging uses small amounts of radioactive materials called radiotracers that are typically injected into the bloodstream, inhaled or swallowed. The radiotracer travels through the area being examined and gives off energy in the form of gamma rays which are detected by a special camera and a computer to create images of the inside
The two most important thyroid hormones are thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), which is produced by the pituitary gland, acts to stimulate hormone production by the thyroid gland. The pituitary gland is stimulated to make TSH by the hypothalamus gland in the brain. ❰❰ عربي

Nuclear medicine is a medical imaging specialty that uses radiopharmaceuticals for diagnosis, staging of a disease, therapy and monitoring the response of a disease process. Depending on the type of the requested examination, the used radiopharmaceutical can be given to the patient via intravenous injection, orally or breathed in (inhaled). The imaging modalities in
The number of diagnostic and interventional medical procedures using ionising radiations is rising steadily, and procedures requiring higher patient doses are being performed more frequently. As such, the need for medical staff and other healthcare professionals to be educated in radiological protection (RP) is more compelling. However, in most countries, RP training, particularly for
