Abstract
Since 1940, radioisotopes—originally and especially radioiodine and more recently other isotopes as well—have been the cornerstone of studies seeking to elucidate thyroid physiology and pathophysiology. The emphasis here is on the current applications of nuclear procedures to the assay of thyroid function, the imaging of normal and abnormal structure, and the treatment of thyroid disease.Keywords
