Radionuclide image formation of thyroid imagery with a sponsorship of the radio gland image examination by thyroid activity is checked by the ability to record radioactive iodine, where the gland is photographed to a special gamma camera. The areas where the absorption level appears to be dark in color and the hot areas are mentioned compared to the areas where the absorption level is low and what is called cold areas, it is noteworthy that the investigation will last about thirty minutes. Warnings during pregnancy: It is advised not to conduct the investigation during pregnancy due to the use of radioactive substances. Breastfeeding: It is advised not to conduct the investigation during the breastfeeding period due to the use of radioactive materials that can affect the fetus. Children and babies have no special effects or problems. Elderly: There are no special effects or problems. Management: There are no special effects or problems. Medicines affecting the result of the investigation include medication that may affect this following investigation: thyroid hormones. Antics. Phenothiazine. Iodine and salt foods containing iodine can affect the results of the investigation, so you should consult a doctor about ceasing to take certain medications and use the stop use of these products at least two weeks before the investigation. Results -analysis contains proper results homogeneous absorption without blocks. To evaluate the thyroid gland, there are two necessary instruments, namely: iodine absorption examination, and it gets a tablet with radioactive iodine in a very small dose. Thyroid photography with Technishium, which is improved to the material that injected the vein. Measuring the total radioactive iodine absorption by thyroid gland makes it possible to assess the general performance of the gland, for example in the case of hyperthyroidism, the absorption level of the radioactive substance in the gland is generally large.
