Thyroid scan: It is hard to tell from your question and bio what your doctor is thinking. The scan will 1. Measure uptake. High uptake is consistent with hyperthyroidism, eg graves disease. 2. Give an image. Diffuse uptake (i.e. All over) suggests graves. Patchy could be a nodular goiter, or hashimotos. Have you been hyperthyroid? Talk to your endocrinologist.
