5000+ scans done & counting

A TC 99m Thyroid Scan, or Technetium-99m Thyroid Scan, is a medical imaging procedure used to examine the function and structure of the thyroid gland. The thyroid is a small gland in the neck that plays a crucial role in regulating the body's metabolism. This procedure uses a radioactive substance, Technetium-99m (Tc-99m), which is attracted to the thyroid gland when injected into the body, to produce a detailed image of the gland.

  • 1

    Fasting: No fasting is typically necessary prior to a Tc 99 Thyroid Scan. You should continue your regular diet unless your doctor advises otherwise.

  • 2

    Allergies:Always let your doctor know if you have any known allergies. However, allergic reactions to the Tc-99m compound are extremely rare.

  • 3

    Medication:Certain medications, especially those that contain iodine or thyroid hormones, may interfere with the scan. It's essential to inform your doctor about any medications, vitamins, or supplements you are currently taking.

  • 4

    Pregnancy: If you are pregnant or think you might be, or if you are breastfeeding, it's crucial to let your doctor know. While the amount of radiation used in the test is relatively low, there's still a risk to the developing fetus or nursing infant.

Frequently Asked Questions

The TC 99 Thyroid Scan is a medical imaging procedure that aids in the examination of the thyroid gland's structure and functionality.

Due to its short half-life of six hours, Tc-99m does not remain in the human body for an extended period of time, making nuclear medicine scans a safe and commonly utilized imaging procedure.

The scan itself is not painful. You may feel a small prick when the radioactive compound is injected, but it should not cause significant discomfort.

The actual scan usually takes about 30 minutes, but the entire procedure, from injection to the end of the scan, might last about 3-4 hours. This is because the radioactive compound needs time to circulate and be absorbed by the thyroid gland.
