The results of a comprehensive radionuclide, ultrasound and thermographic study of 18 patients with toxic thyroid adenoma are presented. It has been shown that during thermographic examination temperature difference over the node and the symmetrical region is insignificant and does not exceed 1 degree C in most of the patients. It equally pertains to the comparison of temperatures over the node and the hottest and coldest points in the cervical region. Ultrasound examination makes it possible to determine the shape, size, exact location of the node and its internal structure but gives no opportunity to judge its functional activity. It has been shown that a node in toxic adenoma may have homogeneous as well as heterogeneous echo-structure , elevated or lowered echo-density; changes of degenerative-dystrophic nature are not infrequent.
本文呈现了对18例毒性甲状腺腺瘤患者进行的全面放射性核素、超声及热成像研究结果。结果显示，在热成像检查中，多数患者结节与其对称区域的温差不显著，不超过1摄氏度。这同样适用于结节与颈部最热及最冷点温度的比较。超声检查能够确定结节的形状、大小、确切位置及其内部结构，但无法判断其功能活性。结果表明，毒性腺瘤中的结节可能具有均匀或不均匀的回声结构、回声密度升高或降低；退行性营养不良性改变并不少见。
