Thyroid Scintigraphy

Thyroid scintigraphy is a diagnostic imaging test that evaluates how well your thyroid gland is functioning. It involves injecting a small amount of radioactive material, usually a special tracer, into a vein. The tracer travels to the thyroid, allowing a special camera to capture images of the gland. These images show how much the thyroid is absorbing the tracer, helping doctors detect conditions like overactive or underactive thyroid, nodules, or structural abnormalities. The procedure is safe, minimally invasive, and provides valuable information to guide treatment decisions.
