Do you know if you took I 123? If so, typically, there's not a danger to others, but you should not breastfeed, because iodine gets into the breast milk and is passed on to the baby.

When you have an uptake scan, pictures are taken of your thyroid, which tell the doctors what's going on; that's why you don't need an ultra sound, when you have an uptake scan.
