RADIO-IODINE (123-I) THYROID UPTAKE AND SCAN

DATE of DOSE and 6 hr SCAN and UPTAKE:  1/30/2006

DATE of 24 hr UPTAKE:  1/31/2006

PROCEDURE:  Following oral administration of 123-I and a 6 hour uptake period, anterior, left-anterior-oblique, and right-anterior-oblique projection images of the neck were acquired.  Percent radioiodine uptake in the thyroid gland was calculated at 6 and 24 hours after dosing, using the patient's thigh as a background reference.

123-I DOSE:  0.2 mCi

COMPARISON: None.

CLINICAL HISTORY: The patient is a [...]-year-old [fe]male with a history of [...]. The patient is referred to Nuclear Medicine for evaluation of thyroid gland.

FINDINGS:  Delayed imaging showed homogeneous tracer uptake in the bilateral thyroid glands with no nodule identified.

     PERCENT UPTAKE at  6 hours: [...]%

     PERCENT UPTAKE at 24 hours: [...]%

CONCLUSIONS:  Normal Iodine-123 thyroid study with percentage uptake in the normal range.

Thank you for referring this patient to the UCLA Medicine Clinic.

I, [...], M.D., Ph.D., have reviewed this Nuclear Medicine study personally, and am in full agreement with the findings of the report presented here.
