FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Thyroid Uptake
Thyroid uptake is a measurement of the ratio of the amount of radioactive material concentrated in the thyroid gland to the amount of radioactive material administered to the patient. Thyroid uptake measurements are generally used to determine conditions of hyperthyroidism. High uptake results are found in Graves disease, toxic nodular goiter, and stimulator secreting tumors or can be TSH-induced. Low uptake results are found with thyroid hormone secretion in ectopic tumors, hormonal release in thyroid injury, after intake of thyroid hormone, or in Jod-Basedow disease. During the treatment of thyroid cancer by I131 ablation, uptake measurements are used to monitor thyroid activity.
The CAPTUS® 3000 system will store patient demographic and dosage information, count data for both the administered dosage and the patient, decay correct all count data, calculate thyroid uptake results, and store all of this information in the thyroid uptake database. Regions of Interest have been defined for three isotopes, I-131, I-123, or Tc-99m. If normal values have been entered, results exceeding these values will be flagged. All of the patient information may be printed. The thyroid uptake software has been designed to accommodate a variety of different counting protocols, using either capsules or liquid dosages.
