RADIONUCLIDE SCANNING WITH I123 IN
GRAVES DISEASE
Putu Diah Vedayanti, Lisna Astuti, Elisanti Dwi Martadiani
Abstract
Graves’ disease is the most common form of thyrotoxicosis which caused by
autoimmune that attacks the thyroid gland. This disease will lead such following
syndromes: thyrotoxicosis, goiter, ophthalmopathy, dermopathy. The sensitive TSH
assay is the single best screening test for hyperthyroidism, and in most outpatient
clinical situations. But when there is a doubt to distinguish diffuse toxic goiter (Graves’
disease) from autonomous toxic nodule (Plummer’s disease), radioinuclide scanning can
be performed. I123 is one of the preferable radiosisotope because it can produce clear
image and short enough halflife, although the price is expensive.
