[Thermographic investigations of thyroid foci (author's transl)]. 1979

K Lampert, and N Miehlnickel, and J Klemencic, and H Heep

Thyroid foci showing uptake on scintigraphy were examined by thermography and compared with foci showing no uptake. The following results were obtained: 1. One fifth of scintigraphically "cold" foci were also cold on the thermogram. 2. Two thirds to four fifths of foci showing scintigraphic uptake appeared as warm spots on the thermogram. 3. 10% of foci showing no uptake appeared as thermographic circumscribed hot spots. The combination of findings in "3" is suspicious of malignancy and this justifies the use of thermography in addition to scintigraphy and cytology.

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.
