Two main methods must be used in every case for evaluation of thyroid function in children : measurement of plasma thyroxin T4 and thyroid scanning with technetium. If accurately done, they may be sufficient for practical purposes. However, the wide number and variety of methods available for thyroid evaluation offers to pediatricians a choice sometimes difficult. The aim of this review is to summarize the meaning and accuracy of current methods and their usefulness in diagnosis and study of thyroid diseases of pediatric patients.
