Iodide Metabolisms 1. Trapping 2. Organification 3. Couplings 4. Hormonal release
Iodide Metabolisms 1. Trapping :Active transport 2. Organification : Iodide ----------> Neutral Iodine Iodine + Tg -----> MIT, DIT MIT = Mono-iodinated tyrosine DIT = Di-iodinated tyrosine Peroxidase
Iodide Metabolisms 3. Couplings : MIT + DIT = Triiodothyronine (T3) DIT + DIT = Thyroxine (T4) 4. Hormonal release : T3 & T4 -Free form -Bound form
Radiopharmaceuticals 1. Iodine-125 :In vitro TFT • T1/2 = 60 days • r-energy 29-35 keV 2.Iodine-123 :Ideal isotope • T1/2 = 13 hours • r-energy 159 keV • Cyclotron produced isotope
Radiopharmaceuticals 3. Iodine-131 :Oral • T1/2 = 8.06 days • r-energy 364 keV • B-energy 192 keV 4.Tc-99m pertechnatate :IV • T1/2 = 6 hours • r-energy 140 keV
Thyroid Function Studies 1. Iodine uptake test (Thyroid uptake test) 2. Perchlorate washout test 3. T3 suppression test 4. TSH stimulation test
Indications for Iodine-131 Uptake 1. Clinical hyperthyroidism, but with equivocal thyroid function tests 2. R/O subacute thyroiditis 3. Known case of hyperthyroidism with plan to give low dose Iodine-131 treatment
Iodine Uptake Test • Methods: • Oral iodine-131 dose 20 uCi • Serial thyroid uptake at 2, 24 & 48 hrs • % Iodine uptake • Net thyroid counts X 100 % Net counts of standard dose
Normal Iodine Uptake • 2 hours = 10-30 % • 24 hours = 20-60 % • 48 hours = 20-60 %
Factors Affecting Increased 131-I Uptake 1. Hyperthyroidism 2. Rebound effect 3. Iodine deficiency 4. Recovery phase of subacute thyroiditis 5. Compensatory dyshormogenesis
Factors Affecting Decreased 131-I Uptake 1. Hypothyroidism 2. Medications : ATD, Thyroid hormones 3. Iodine overload :Diet, Contrast media etc. 4. Goitrogens 5. Subacute thyroiditis, early phase
Indications for Thyroid Scan 1. Thyroid nodule(s) 2. Diffuse or multinodular goiter 3. Clinical hyper- or hypothyroidism 4. Evaluation of substernal mass 5. R/O Ectopic thyroid tissue 6. Subacute thyroiditis, early phase 7. Patient with previous Hx of H & N RT
Thyroid Nodule 1. Cold nodule 2. Hot nodule 3. Warm nodule
Causes of Cold Nodule • Colloidal cyst • Hypofunctioning adenoma • Thyroid carcinoma 15-25 % • Others :focal thyroiditis, abscess, hematoma, lymphoma, metastasis, parathyroid adenoma, lymph node enlargement (rare) 70-75 %
Hot Nodule Ant RAO
Causes of Hot Nodule • Hyperfunctioning adenoma(s) • Anatomical variant • Thyroid carcinoma 2 % • Compensatory hypertrophy
Causes of Warm Nodule • Functioning adenoma • Anatomical variant • Thyroid carcinoma 4 % • Deep seated cold nodule
Diffuse Goiter • Euthyroid • Simple goiter or • Adolescent goiter • Hyperthyroidism • Diffuse toxic goiter (Graves’ disease)
Nodular Goiter • Euthyroid • Multinodular goiter • Hyperthyroidism • Single :Nodular toxic goiter • Multiple :Plummer’s disease • Hypothyroidism • Hashimoto’s thyroiditis
Congenital Hypothyroidism • Thyroid agenesis • Ectopic thyroid • Congenital organification defect • Normal location of thyroid gland with diffuse decreased uptake
