- Oncology
- Radiology
Background:
- Thyroid gland diseases encompass a wide spectrum of conditions.
- Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management and surgical intervention.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report the prevalence of various thyroid diseases in a large patient cohort.
- To highlight the role of clinico-radionuclide investigation in diagnosing thyroid pathologies.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of 3229 patients with thyroid gland diseases.
- Utilizing complex clinico-radionuclide investigations for diagnosis.
