What is a low non- attenuated nodule on thyroid?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Thyroid nodule: This is not a typical description of a thyroid nodule. I assume this means the nodule is not "cold" on a nuclear thyroid scan. If a nodule takes up less isotope (cold) or the same (isofuncitonal) as the normal thyroid, this means the nodule has a higher chance of being a cancer. If the nodule takes up more isotope (hotter) than the normal gland, it is almost never a cancer.

Thyroid nodule: Thyroid nodules in women are common. Most thyroid nodules are benign. Dependent on size and other characteristics a needle aspiration biopsy is often performed to stratify whether surgery is required.
