What is cpt code 78012?
CPT code 78012 refers to a nuclear medicine procedure known as a "thyroid uptake and imaging." This test measures the function of the thyroid gland by assessing how much radioactive iodine is absorbed by the thyroid tissue over a specific period. It is often used to evaluate conditions such as hyperthyroidism or thyroid nodules. The procedure typically involves the administration of a radioactive tracer and subsequent imaging to visualize thyroid activity.

What is CPT code of ultrasound of the thyroid gland (neck)?
The CPT code for an ultrasound of the thyroid gland (neck) is 76536. This code is used for a complete ultrasound examination of the thyroid and parathyroid glands, typically to evaluate for nodules, enlargement, or other abnormalities. Adjustments to the code may apply based on specific circumstances or additional procedures performed.
Why use the Thyroid Uptake and scan on the thyroid?
Because the results of the uptake will determine whether you will need surgery to remove your thyroid glands.
What is the medical term for nuclear medicine test that measures thyroid function is?
The thyroid scan and a radioactive iodine uptake test (RAIU), also known as a thyroid uptake, are types of nuclear medicine imaging.
What does multilobular area of uptake within the thyroid bed mean?
Breaking down Multilobular area of uptake within the thyroid bed means the amount of radiation in the many lobes of the thyroid bed. The higher the uptake of tracer the faster the metabolism indicates hot spots for concern.
Increasing the uptake of iodide by the thyroid gland and increasing the growth of the thyroid gland are two functions of what hormone?
The hormone responsible for increasing the uptake of iodide by the thyroid gland and for increasing the growth of the thyroid gland is thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), also known as thyrotropin.
