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.
A nonfunctioning nodule does not take up iodine and produces a localized  cold  area on the image of the thyroid gland. In addition, thyroid scanning can be done to help determine if thyroid cancer has spread beyond the bed of the thyroid in the neck. For this purpose, usually a whole body thyroid scan is performed.n this case the scan reveals increased iodine uptake by the whole gland. In addition, a thyroid scan can provide information on specific areas within the thyroid gland and can help to determine whether any localized areas are hyperfunctioning or under functioning compared to the rest of the gland.
