What is Thyroid Uptake Scan Preparation Guide about?
This nuclear medicine exam uses a small amount of radioactive iodine to evaluate the thyroid gland. It has two parts - the first day the patient swallows a radioactive iodine capsule and returns the next day for imaging, which takes up to 45 minutes. There are preparation instructions for foods and medications containing iodine to be avoided for weeks prior to the exam.
