I-131 Whole Body Scan

I-131 Whole Body Scan is a specialized nuclear medicine imaging procedure used primarily for detecting residual thyroid tissue, thyroid cancer, or metastases following thyroidectomy or radioiodine therapy. This diagnostic tool involves administering a small dose of radioactive iodine-131, which is absorbed by thyroid cells. Using a gamma camera, we capture detailed images to assess the presence and extent of thyroid-related abnormalities. This safe and effective scan helps in planning further treatment and ensuring comprehensive patient care.
