Abstract

In the current number of patients examined of a nuclear-medical institution the TdTU-, TT3- and TSH-values of various groups of diagnosis were compared in a defined period before and after prophylaxis of struma with iodide (IP). After prophylaxis with iodide the results show a better diagnostic evaluability of the TcTU and a regression of the TSH mean value of the euthyroid group of patients. Possible consequences for the diagnostic practice are shown.
