Abstract

There has probably never been a method which has been so widely applicable in the field of in-vitro diagnosis as radioimmunoassay or its variations. The use of the antigen-antibody reaction with its specificity, coupled with the use of radioactive ligands, has led to sensitive methods which now form a routine part of laboratory in-vitro diagnostic programmes. In nuclear medicine in its classical sense, the best example of the combination of in-vivo and in-vitro methods using radioactive tracers is in the field of thyroid disorders.
