A thyroid scan using radioactive iodine-131 (I-131) is a valuable diagnostic source used to assess the structure and function of the thyroid gland. The thyroid, a small butterfly-shaped gland located in the front of the neck, plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism and producing hormones that control various bodily functions. A thyroid scan helps in identifying potential thyroid abnormalities, such as nodules, tumors, or hyperactive thyroid tissue, and assists healthcare professionals in making accurate diagnoses and treatment decisions.
