Abstract
It is necessary for patients to wait twice for the thyroid examination of thyroid uptake measurement and thyroid scan by using $^{99m}Tc$-pertechnetate. In the study, a method of simultaneous examination of thyroid uptake measurement and thyroid scan by one intravenous injection of $^{99m}Tc$-pertechnetate was suggested by using attenuation filter. As a result, there was a significant correlation between control group and experimental group according to existence of attenuation filter. Consequently, the simultaneous examination of thyroid uptake measurement and thyroid scan by one intravenous injection can be applied clinically.
