Is a I123 scan for me?
by otmjam1, Feb 18, 2009 05:34PM
I just had an ultrasound on my thyroid and blood tests. the blood test results came back out of range at .23. My ultrasound came back saying "the right lobe to measure 5.3x1.9x2.0 cm and the left 5.0x1.6x1.5cm the isthmus .48cm it says there is a hypoechoic lesion within the left lobe of the thyroid that measures .5x.3x.6cm that is too small to characterize. I went to a surgeon and he said the ultrasounds look normal to him, but he wants to do a I123 scan to look for hot/cold spots. he also said everything looks benign... I'm wondering if there is another option besides this I123 scan? I don't want radioactive anything in my body...can anyone comment on this for me??? any help would be greatly appreciated...thanks,,,
