In a thyroid scan, "diffuse" refers to a uniform distribution of radioactive tracer throughout the thyroid gland, indicating a consistent function across the tissue. "Homogeneous" similarly denotes that the uptake of the tracer is even, without significant areas of increased or decreased activity. Together, these terms suggest a normal thyroid function without nodules or focal abnormalities.
