   A 27-year-old female patient known to have goiter. a, b Axial and sagittal enhanced CT scan images of the neck demonstrate a heterogeneously enhancing, enlarged thyroid gland with scattered calcifications (white arrow), cystic changes, and substantial retro-sternal extension (black asterisks).

3. Radioactive iodine uptake test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_iodine_uptake_test

   The radioactive iodine uptake test is a type of scan used in the diagnosis of thyroid problems, particularly hyperthyroidism. It is entirely different from radioactive iodine therapy (RAI therapy), which uses much higher doses to destroy cancerous cells. The RAIU test is also used as a follow-up to RAI therapy to verify that no thyroid cells ...

6. Thyroid nodule - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid_nodule

   Thyroid scan. A thyroid scan using a radioactive iodine uptake test can be used in viewing the thyroid. [19] A scan using iodine-123 showing a hot nodule, accompanied by a lower than normal TSH, is strong evidence that the nodule is not cancerous, as most hot nodules are benign. [20]

7. Cold nodule - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_nodule

   A cold nodule is a thyroid nodule that does not produce thyroid hormone. [1] On a radioactive iodine uptake test a cold nodule takes up less radioactive material than the surrounding thyroid tissue. [1] A cold nodule may be malignant or benign. [1] On scintigraphy cold nodules do not show but are easily shown on ultrasound. [2]
