Sumario: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. MATERIAL/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. RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS: The aims of this papers is evaluate of thyroid volume on the basis of method ultrasonography and planar scintigraphy.
