The effect on such test of the populations used iodine-salt was evaluated by authors, also in 330 patients with thyrotoxicosis were treated by I-131 during from 1998-2000 year. The results indicated that this is one of the best therapeutic methods which should be selected. During the last 20 years, very good achievements of nuclear medicine techniques used in diagnosis and treatment of thyroid diseases were collected at nuclear medicine dep. of Bach Mai hospital, but at the present time the imaging equipment Rectilinear Scanner MB 8100 is old and out of date.
