Clinical Usefulness of X-Ray Fluorescence Thyroid Iodine Quantitation and Scanning

  • Chapter
X-ray fluorescent scanning of the thyroid

Part of the book series: Developments in Nuclear Medicine ((DNUM,volume 3))

  • 39 Accesses

Abstract

With the use of X-ray fluorescence (XRF) techniques and under optimal technical and laboratory conditions it is possible:

  1. 1)

    to quantitate total thyroidal iodine (total organic and inorganic iodine pool),

  2. 2)

    to quantitate regional thyroidal iodine with the restriction that a true tomographic evaluation of a given volume such as a thyroid nodule is difficult and that slices through the entire thickness of the thyroid gland are being evaluated and

  3. 3)

    to evaluate relative distribution of iodine in the thyroid gland by imaging techniques.
