title: Comparative thyroid gland volume by two methods: Ultrasonography and planar scintigraphy.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Knowledge of thyroid gland volume plays a key role in the treatment of thyroid diseases by radioactive iodine 131I. Radioiodine therapy is a routine procedure of treatment hyperthyroidism for over 50 years.
  
  
  METHODS
  Today modern diagnostic has a number of medical diagnostics instruments whose using to estimate of thyroid volume. Undoubtedly these method we can include a ultrasonography (US) and planar scintigraphy (PS) whose characterized by noninvasive.
