title: [Global and regional computer-assisted functional topography of the thyroid. A simple self-calibrating method for supplementing gamma-camera-thyroid-gland scintigraphy].
abstract: A semiautomatic computer program is described for the quantification of global and regional 20 min 99mTc-thyroid uptake. The procedure is self-calibrating by the activity remaining in the empty syringe. The standardized definition of the thyroid ROI by an isocontour in the interpolative background corrected thyroid image results in an excellent inter-observer variability. The very short processing time of 30 sec makes this procedure suitable for routine use.
