Abstract

A solitary area in a thyroid scintigram which shows no evidence of uptake of iodine or technetium pertechnetate represents a carcinoma until proven otherwise. This general rule is not acceptable in the preoperative diagnosis of thyroid cancer because a cold area can be produced by several other lesions. Preoperative aspiration biopsy cytology of the thyroid is often not conclusive. The aim of this study is to assess the role of thallium scintigraphy including kinetic studies in the diagnosis of suspected thyroid cancer as a complement to conventional thyroid scintigraphy and preoperative aspiration biopsy cytology.
