What is a Thyroid Uptake and Scan?
A Thyroid Scan shows the size, shape and location of your thyroid gland. The “uptake” is a measure of the thyroid function.
Day One: You will be asked questions regarding any prior tests, medication, symptoms or family history of thyroid problems. You will then be given one or two capsules containing radioactive iodine that will accumulate in your thyroid. This is inorganic iodine and will not cause reactions as those sometimes experienced with the contrast used in X-Ray procedures.
