Thyroid Scan for Function and Nodules

A thyroid scan is a nuclear medicine examination in which a radionuclide is used to see how the thyroid gland is working or to check for thyroid nodules. Sometimes the physician performs a whole body thyroid scan on people who have had thyroid cancer to see if the cancer has spread to other parts of the body.
