Thyroid uptake and scintigraphy using 99mTc pertechnetate: standardization in normal individuals

Säo Paulo med. j; 120 (2), 2002
CONTEXT: Thyroid uptake and scintigraphy using 99mTc-pertechnetate has proven to be more advantageous than with 131I-iodide, since the images have better quality, the procedure is faster and the patient is submitted to a lower radiation dose. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to standardize a simp...
