Thyroid radioiodine uptakes and scans in euthyroid patients. 1975

J S Robertson, and N G Nolan, and H W Wahner, and W M McConahey

A substantial increase in the dietary iodide intake in many communities has caused a major increase in the total iodide pool in the body and a consequent decrease in the normal thyroid radioiodine uptake. Because of the pronounced regional variations in iodide supplementation of food, and because the effects of this additional dietary intake on radioiodine uptake are so large, a redefinition of the normal range of thyroid radioiodine uptake values in patients seen at this institution was thought to be indicated. The results of 6-hour and 24-hour thyroid radioiodine uptake studies in 44 euthyroid subjects, with scan data on the 20 who were studied with 123-I, are consistent with other reports indicating that the current normal thyroid radioiodine uptake values are lower than those accepted several years ago.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007454 Iodides Inorganic binary compounds of iodine or the I- ion. Iodide
D007455 Iodine A nonmetallic element of the halogen group that is represented by the atomic symbol I, atomic number 53, and atomic weight of 126.90. It is a nutritionally essential element, especially important in thyroid hormone synthesis. In solution, it has anti-infective properties and is used topically. Iodine-127,Iodine 127
D007457 Iodine Radioisotopes Unstable isotopes of iodine that decay or disintegrate emitting radiation. I atoms with atomic weights 117-139, except I 127, are radioactive iodine isotopes. Radioisotopes, Iodine
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.
