What can thyroid scans detect?
Thyroid scans can detect a variety of thyroid-related conditions, including hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, thyroid nodules, and thyroid cancer. They assess the size, shape, and function of the thyroid gland by using radioactive tracers that highlight areas of abnormal activity. Additionally, these scans can help distinguish between benign and malignant nodules. Overall, they provide valuable insights into thyroid health and guide further diagnostic and treatment decisions.

Our modern diet sometimes does not supply enough iodine, which is why it is added to most table salt.
