Researchers determined the most probable normal thyroid mass in euthyroid individuals using modified formulas and imaging. The average thyroid mass was found to be 20.9 grams in a Budapest population study.

Area of Science:

Endocrinology
Nuclear Medicine
Radiology

Background:

Accurate thyroid mass determination is crucial for diagnosing thyroid conditions.
Existing formulas for estimating thyroid weight may require refinement.
Non-invasive imaging techniques offer potential for precise thyroid volume assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose modified formulas for calculating normal thyroid mass.
To determine the 'most probable' value of normal thyroid mass in a specific population.
To validate these methods using combined scintigraphic and ultrasound imaging.

Main Methods:

Development and modification of formulas for thyroid weight estimation.
Application of a combined scintigraphic and ultrasound method for thyroid mass measurement.

Analysis of data from 103 euthyroid individuals in Budapest and surrounding areas.

Main Results:

The study established a 'most probable' value for normal thyroid mass.
The average thyroid mass for the studied population was determined to be 20.9 g.
The observed range for normal thyroid mass was 15.1 g to 38.8 g.

Conclusions:

Modified formulas can aid in determining the most probable normal thyroid mass.
Combined scintigraphy and ultrasound provide a reliable method for thyroid mass assessment.
The findings provide reference values for normal thyroid mass in the studied population.
