Abstract
Radioiodine scan and therapy are widely used for management of various thyroid diseases. At the molecular level, the mechanism of thyroid scan is based on the presence and function of sodium(Na+)/iodide(I-) symporters in the membrane of thyroid epithelial follicular cells. Recent advances have led to more sensitive and cell-type-specific imaging studies based on glucose or amino acid metabolism or the presence of somatostatin receptors, and these next-generation modalities are being utilized in clinical practice in secondary and tertiary medical centers.
