What is the Difference between hot and cold thyroid nodule?
The difference between hot and cold thyroid nodules refers to the appearance of the thyroid when viewed by a Nuclear Medicine Thyroid Scan. During a thyroid scan, the patient is given radioactive iodine which is taken orally. The radioactive iodine is absorbed into the bloodstream and gets picked up by functioning thyroid tissue. The thyroid utilizes iodine in its function of producing thyroid hormones. With a Nuclear Medicine scan, the radioactive iodine acts like non-radioactive iodine and is absorbed by the thyroid gland to be used in the production of thyroid hormones. Therefore, functioning thyroid tissue will become radioactive by the absorption of the radioactive iodine. Areas of the thyroid which are overly functioning will pick up more radioactive iodine than normal tissue and are referred to as being "hot". Areas of the thyroid that are functioning less than normal or not at all will pick up less or none of the radioactive iodine. These areas are referred to as being "cold". With the use of special "cameras" the radioactive iodine is detected in the thyroid gland and a picture is formed. The "hot" areas will show up darker than normal tissue and the "cold" areas will show up as lighter than normal tissue or as completely blank areas. The "hot" nodules are overly functioning thyroid tissue, very often palpable from the outer surface of the skin, and are sometimes cancerous tissue. The "cold" nodules are also sometimes palpable from the outer skin surface. These non-functioning areas can be scar tissue, cysts or a variety of non thyroid tissue infiltrating the thyroid gland.
Which one is most important heart or brain?
Heart is more important than your brain. When you fall in love you give your heart and not the brain. There are more songs on heart than brain. When it comes to learning also, your teacher and parents advice you to learn by heart. Joke apart, both the organs are vital for you and such comparison can not be done. You can not survive with non functioning heart. You can survive with non functioning brain. There is no meaning to existence with non functioning brain.

Which of the following compounds can be administered to reduce the absorption of radiation that targets the thyroid?
Potassium iodide can be administered to reduce the absorption of radiation that targets the thyroid. It works by saturating the thyroid with non-radioactive iodine, thereby reducing the uptake of radioactive iodine.
What exactly is thyroid cancer and what causes it?
Thyroid cancer is cancer of the thyroid gland which is part of the body's endrocine system. There is really no means of prevention of cancer other than diet, excercise and maintaing a non-smoking lifestyle.
