title: [Computer tomographic differential diagnosis of thyroid diseases with special reference to scintigraphic cold spots (author's transl)].
abstract: A high proportion of carcinomas of the thyroid produce scintigraphic cold spots, this finding therefore requires further investigation in order to prevent unnecessary thyroidectomies. In order to clarify the value of computer tomography in thyroid disease, 70 patients with scintigraphic cold spots, or equivocal thyroid scans, were submitted to computer tomography of the neck. The findings in the majority of these cases have been correlated with histological results.
