    A new method using SPECT imaging accurately determines thyroid tissue volume. This technique helps differentiate between various thyroid conditions, including cancer, adenoma, and Graves' disease.

    Area of Science:

    • Nuclear medicine
    • Medical imaging
    • Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Accurate assessment of thyroid tissue volume is crucial for diagnosing and managing thyroid diseases.
    • Current methods may have limitations in precisely quantifying functioning thyroid tissue.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a method for determining the volume of functioning thyroid tissue using SPECT imaging.
    • To evaluate the accuracy of this method through experimental investigations.
    • To analyze clinical results for differential diagnosis of thyroid conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Experimental phantom studies with varying sizes and internal structures.
    • Development of a volume determination method considering organ size and image microtexture.

  • Clinical study involving 36 patients with thyroid diseases and a control group.
  • Utilized planar imaging and SPECT with Iodine-123 (I-123).

    • Main Results:

    • SPECT data analysis requires variable background cut-off levels based on organ size for accurate volume determination.
    • Statistically significant differences in diagnostic indices were observed across different clinical groups.
    • Specific indices were identified for differentiating thyroid cancer, adenoma, and Graves' disease.
    • Thyroid cancer patients exhibited the largest volumes of non-functioning thyroid tissue.

    Conclusions:

    • A novel method for determining functioning thyroid tissue volume from SPECT data has been established.
    • Integral indices derived from this method show promise for the differential diagnosis of thyroid diseases.
