Nuclear medicine and endocrinology: diagnosis and management.
Most endocrine disorders result in a disturbance of function, so radionuclide imaging provides a unique view of disordered function which complements the structural information provided by other imaging techniques. Nuclear medicine is used in the management of benign and malignant thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal disorders both diagnostically and by identifying suitable patients for radionuclide therapy.
