Correlação entre volume tireoidiano determinado pelo método de ultrassonografia versus cintilografia e sua implicação em cálculos dosimétricos na terapia com radioiodo na doença de Graves

Abstract: INTRODUÇÃO: A doença de Graves (DG) é a causa mais comum de hipertireoidismo e, entre as abordagens terapêuticas mais utilizadas para o tratamento do hipertireoidismo por doença de Graves, encontram-se a cirurgia, o uso de drogas antitireoidianas e a radioiodoterapia. No cálculo dosimétrico para determinação da dose de radioiodo a ser utilizada, é possível empregar a ultrassonografia e a cintilografia para avaliar o volume tireoidiano. OBJETIVO: O presente estudo visa correlacionar essas metodologias com ênfas… Show more

“…[11] Other workers reported a very good correlation between pre 131 I treatment 99m TcO 4 - uptake and the thyroid volume measured by ultrasonography (USG) suggesting a potential role of pre 131 I treatment 99m TcO 4 - uptake in predicting the response to 131 I. [12] The current study was aimed at finding out if pre 131 I treatment 99m TcO 4 - uptake can predict treatment failure. The relevant factors such as age, sex, duration of disease, grade of goiter (according to WHO grading of goiter), duration of treatment with anti-thyroid drugs, dosage of anti-thyroid drugs, dose of 131 I administered, total T3 and T4 levels, which can be potentially associated with the treatment failure were also studied.…”
