%X The role of radioactive iodine uptake and scintigraphy were studied over 111 subjects with a mean age of 42¡À13 years, 65% females and 35% males, in the evaluation of hyperthyroidism with multinodular goiter. The uptake study was performed by oral administration of 4.5 ¨C 10.0 ¦ÌCi of 131I as sodium-iodide thyroid scintigraphy was performed 20 minutes after an intravenous injection of 2.0 ¨C 4.0 mCi of 99mTc as pertechnetate. The Mean ¡À SD uptake values for the study subjects were found to be 36.1¡À15.4% ranging from 14% to 75% at 2 h and 59.9¡À15.9% ranging from 32% to 90% at 24 h measurements. The present results of uptake values clearly exceed the normal range (3% ¨C 12% for 2 h; 8% ¨C 25% for 24 h), which indicate the hyper-functioning of thyroid, and therefore, demonstrated successfully the efficient role of radioactive iodine uptake and scintigraphy to diagnose the hyperthyroidism.
