Thyroid scans performed with both 99mTc pertechnetate (99mTcO4) and (131I) were compared in 46 patients with palpable thyroid nodules to determine whether 131I scanning is any longer a necessary procedure. A discrepancy between the two types of scan existed in only three cases, in one of which the t

Dose rates around and at the surface of disposable polypropylene syringes of 1 and 2 ml volume filled with 99mTc and 131I solutions were determined by thermoluminescence dosimetry. Data for the efficacy of 0.5 and 1 mm lead shielding of 99mTc and for the dose contribution due to beta- -radiation fro
Out of 450 patients referred for thyroid scintigraphy 83 consecutive patients with nodular goitre were selected for dual scintigraphy with 99mTc and 123I. Seventy-four patients had one or more palpable nodules and the other nine patients had palpably diffuse goitres with one or more nodules on the r
