Radionuclide Thyroid Angiography and Surgical Correlation: A Five-Year Study

Abstract: III \s=b\Only 15% to 25% of cold nodules on conventional static thyroid scans are malignant. Radionuclide angiography of the thyroid and conventional static scans using sodium pertechnetate Tc 99m were performed on 114 patients who underwent thyroid surgery within a five-year period. The combined use of radionuclide angiography and conventional static scans increased the specificity for the diagnosis of thyroid carcinoma from 42% to 79% over static scans alone. The incidence of carcinoma in solitary cold nodul… Show more

“…Most authors consider hypervascularity in thyroid nodules to be a strong indicator of malignancy, whereas isovascular and avascular nodules are considered more likely to be benign [14,15,16,17,24,25,26]. In contrast, in the study of Nathan and Raines, vascularity as demonstrated by radionuclide scans did not reliably differentiate carcinoma from adenoma or adenomatous nodules [27].…”
