Abstract

Congenital hypothyroidism is the most common preventable cause of mental retardation. It is important to know the cause of each patient's thyroid dysfunction to foresee the course of therapy and outcomes. Imaging methods, such as ultrasound and thyroid scan, help determine the anatomy and function of the thyroid gland. Although thyroid scan is considered superior in detecting ectopic thyroid tissue, ultrasound is able to detect the presence of thyroid tissue not otherwise visualized in 15% of patients.

摘要

先天性甲状腺功能减退症是最常见的可预防的智力障碍原因。了解每位患者甲状腺功能障碍的原因对于预测治疗过程和结果非常重要。成像方法，如超声和甲状腺扫描，有助于确定甲状腺的解剖结构和功能。虽然甲状腺扫描被认为在检测异位甲状腺组织方面更优越，但超声能够检测到 15%的患者中无法通过其他方式观察到的甲状腺组织的存在。
