A member asked:
Does the use of iodine nterfere with the tc 99 thyroid uptake?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thyroid scan: Iodine will not interfere with the technicium scan, however the tc99 scan does not tell you much. If a thyroid scan is needed, it should be done with radioactive iodine. This will require that you stop taking iodine supplements, which you really do not need to take anyway. See your endocrinologist.
