Determination of the autonomously functioning volume of the thyroid

Abstract: The aim of this work was to determine the autonomously functioning volume in euthyroid and hyperthyroid goitres for prognostic and therapeutic purposes. To this end, various groups of patients were selected: individuals without evidence of thyroid disease, euthyroid patients with diffuse goitre of normal structure and function, euthyroid patients with evidence of autonomy and patients with hyperthyroidism due to autonomy. In all of them the thyroid uptake of technetium-99m was determined under exogenous suppre… Show more

“…It is therefore likely that not all hot nodules that are much more frequent in iodine-deficient than iodine-replete areas (21) are detectable by the determination of TSH. However, if the hot nodule volume surpasses a volume of 16 ml, a suppressed TSH was detectable even with older RIA technology (22).…”

“…The results of a previous Technetium scintigram may be used to quantify the amount of autonomous tissue to stratify risk [4,21,22]. However, this indication for scintigraphy has fallen into disuse since very sensitive TSH assays came into general use more recently.…”

“…A becsült, fix dózissal kezelt betegek eredményei lényegesen nem különböznek az individuálisan számított dózissal kezeltekétől [25], a számításos módszert még-sem kellene mellőzni [26]. A funkcionális, autonóm tér-fogat kiszámítására a német iskola ajánlott tetszetős módszereket [27,28], ezek széles körben nem terjedtek el, mert az elért eredmények így sem lettek jobbak [29].…”
