Abstract The purpose of this guideline is to assist nuclear medicine practitioners in recommending, performing, interpreting and reporting the results of thyroid uptake measurements. II. Nuclear Medicine Dosing Guidelines; Pediatric PET/CT Radiation Exposure Limits; Close; Learn. Measurement of thyroid iodine uptake procedure is used to determine the fraction of an arbitrary quantity of (radioactive) iodide taken up by the thyroid, using a small test dose. Thyroid scintigraphy is a nuclear medicine procedure to detect Guidelines provided by the Society of Nuclear Medicine1and the American College of Radiology2are exhaustive with regard to indications and medicines/substances to avoid with thyroid scans. This article attempts to highlight the key information mentioned in those documents in a manner relevant to current general practice. How does the test work?
