Abstract

A method of measuring early thyroid uptake of pertechnetate and excluding extrathyroidal radioactivity is described. Data derived from 100 patients are statistically analysed and the clinical significance of the results obtained are discussed. 99m Tc pertechnetate uptake values obtained at 15 and 30 minutes after intravenous injection of the tracer are compared with results of standard 4 hour and 24 hour 131 I iodide uptake.
