Radiation in any form comes with risks. Especially with children. Thyroid ultrasound and improved blood testing has nearly eliminated the need for most uptake scans for adults and children.
Sonograms and computed tomography scans (CT scans ) help to determine the size of the thyroid gland and location of abnormalities. A nuclear medicine scan may be used to assess thyroid function
yes they are
No. Too little thyroid hormone produces cretinism in children.
it is not dangerous to have low thyroid but you shold take levothyroxine other wise your thyroid gland can get swollen and then you will have a fat neck
Only a doctor can order the tests to determine if any thyroid nodule is dangerous. A thyroid uptake scan will help your doctor determine if your thyroid is hot (active) or cold (inactive).
Thyroid can be dangerous, more so for women than men. Being over 50 increases the risk of thyroid disease for both men and women. Also having a first degree relative, such as a mother, or sister makes the risk slightly greater.
The woman will most likely not be able to conceive until the thyroid problem is treated appropriately. Additionally, pregnancy with a thyroid disorder that is not under control is dangerous for the fetus.
Radioactive iodine is dangerous because it can be easily absorbed by the thyroid gland, causing damage to the cells and potentially leading to the development of thyroid cancer. Exposure to high levels of radioactive iodine can also increase the risk of various other health issues such as thyroid disorders and genetic mutations.
witches were not dangerous to adults but they do not like children and well to say they are dangerous to children....
One way is in the endocrine system. The thyroid gland uses iodine from the blood to make thyroxine, which is secreted to regulate metabolism. Radioactive iodine is used in medicine to diagnose thyroid problems. When the the radioactive iodine is injected into the blood, it collects in the thyroid, making the thyroid more visible on radiological scans. Our modern diet sometimes does not supply enough iodine, which is why it is added to most table salt.
No a CT scan will not harm you in anyway. It is a machine designed to help not harm. It can help find anything that may be wrong with you. CT scans especially help with head injuries.
It's not a problem for anything except your thyroid. It shouldn't affect your future children.
