Modification of 99mTc-Thyroid Scan Protocol to Decrease the Radiation Dose to Salivary Glands
Introduction: The pharmacokinetics pathway of 99mTcpertechnetate, used for thyroid scan, involves the absorption of 99mTc in normal non-pathologic salivary glands. Aim: To modify the original protocol used for thyroid scan for the purpose of decreasing radiation absorbed dose to the nontarget organ...
