Thyroid scans and uptake tests use special chemicals called radionuclides. A radionuclide (sometimes called a radioisotope or isotope) is a chemical which emits a type of radioactivity called gamma rays. In these tests a tiny amount of radionuclide is put into the body, usually by an injection into a vein.
The patient will then wait for the isotope to be taken up by the thyroid gland, and images will be taken to show the amount of isotope taken up by the thyroid. 1  This test helps to determine the cause of hyperthyroidism and to assess whether any thyroid lumps or nodules are actively producing thyroid hormone.
