Abstract

The sensitivity and N.P.V. by ²⁰¹Tl scintigraphy which nodular uptake was higher and equal to normal thyroid tissue on early scan without quantitative washout were higher than those of FNA combined with the serum thyroglobulin level (sensitivity; 96.9%, 53.1-75.0%, N.P.V. 96.3%, 72.2-80.5%, respectively p<0.05). ²⁰¹Tl scintigraphy is more useful for discrimination of benign and malignant thyroid nodules than fine- needle aspiration combined with serum thyroglobulin.

N2 - The sensitivity and N.P.V. by 201Tl scintigraphy which nodular uptake was higher and equal to normal thyroid tissue on early scan without quantitative washout were higher than those of FNA combined with the serum thyroglobulin level (sensitivity; 96.9%, 53.1-75.0%, N.P.V. 96.3%, 72.2-80.5%, respectively p<0.05). 201Tl scintigraphy is more useful for discrimination of benign and malignant thyroid nodules than fine- needle aspiration combined with serum thyroglobulin.
