Abstrakt: Nineteen patients, representing a spectrum of thyroid function, were studied. The mean 24-hr thyroid 131I uptakes determined by a standard counting procedure and by our scintillation camera counting method were 15.0% and 16.4%, respectively, for the entire patient population. The 24-hr 131I uptakes from these two methods correlated with a coefficient of 0.99. A high degree of correlation between the two methods was found in evaluating euthyroid and hypothyroid patients and a similar finding was noted in the one hyperthyroid patient studied.
