Thyroxine
T4 is also known as thyroxine (the major thyroid hormone produced by the thyroid gland).
If the term is written as T4 or TIV, it is referring to the fourth thoracic vertebra. This is the part of the spine that is located in the chest region. There are twelve bones in the thoracic region.

If the term is written as T4, where the 4 is a subscript, it is the symbol for thyroxine which is a hormone secreted by the thyroid gland and is essential to metabolic functions.

T4 is also used for Thyroid Hormone (Thyroxine). In Endocrinology it is used in common.
