Iodine concentration on viewing the thyroid with the uptake. The uptake only views things that are sucking in the iodine you are given. If a nodule is not a working one, then it won't suck in the iodine to view on the uptake.

An untra sound reveals everything that is there - within that area - with no iodine needed.

Would this make it a cold nodule? I can't seem to find anything about this happening. Thanks for the information.
