The 105 patients were undergone the medical observation after operations of various volume on thyroid gland. The patients were divided into 3 groups — patients without additional changes (n = 74), with nodes in residual tissue (n = 20), patients with glandular tissue after thyreoidectomy (n = 11).

For specification of relapsing nodules and thyroid residue spreading after thyreoidectomy the complex radiological examination is proposed.
