Graves disease (GD) is the most common cause of hiperthyroidism, and the most common treatment options are surgery, antithyroid drugs and radioiodine therapy. In radiodosimetric calculations to determine radioiodine dosage it is possible to use thyroid volume estimatives based on ultrasound or scintigraphy.
The present study aimed to correlate these methodologies emphasizing volume estimatives and dosimetric implications.
Were included 103 patients with GD diagnosis and indication of radioiodine treatment. They were submitted to thyroid ultrasound and thyroid scintigraphy.
Good correlation between both methods was observed, although scintigraphy systematically obtained greater volumes than ultrasound implying in lower estimatives of absorbed dose when scintigraphy is used.
格雷夫斯病(GD)是甲状腺功能亢进最常见的病因,最常见的治疗选择是手术、抗甲状腺药物和放射性碘治疗。在确定放射性碘剂量的放射剂量学计算中,可以使用基于超声或闪烁扫描的甲状腺体积估计值。
本研究旨在关联这些方法,重点关注体积估计和剂量学影响。
纳入103例诊断为GD且有放射性碘治疗指征的患者。对他们进行甲状腺超声和甲状腺闪烁扫描。
观察到两种方法之间具有良好的相关性,尽管闪烁扫描系统地获得的体积比超声更大,这意味着使用闪烁扫描时吸收剂量的估计值较低。
