A computer-assisted radionuclide perfusion study was performed in 25 cases of solitary 'cold' thyroid nodules to assess their vascularity relative to that of normal adjoining thyroid tissue. Hypervascularity was seen in 3 malignant nodules; 1 follicular adenoma also showed increased vascularity. The 21 nodules demonstrating equal vascularity or avascularity with respect to normal thyroid tissue were benign in nature. Computer-generated time-activity curves were helpful in distinguishing hypervascular from equally vascular nodules. This technique, in conjunction with clinical evaluation, can be of value in deciding whether patients should undergo surgery or receive conservative management.
对25例孤立性“冷”甲状腺结节进行了计算机辅助放射性核素灌注研究，以评估其相对于相邻正常甲状腺组织的血管情况。3个恶性结节表现为血管增多；1个滤泡性腺瘤也显示血管增多。21个与正常甲状腺组织血管情况相同或无血管的结节为良性。计算机生成的时间-活性曲线有助于区分血管增多结节和血管情况相同的结节。这项技术结合临床评估，在决定患者应接受手术还是保守治疗方面可能具有价值。
