    Public X-ray screening effectively identifies treatable strumae (enlarged thyroid glands) in urban populations. This cost-effective method aids in early detection and management of thyroid conditions across all age groups.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Radiology
    • Public Health

    Context:

    • Utilized photofluorograms from a 1976 public X-ray screening program in Rostock.
    • Focused on identifying mediastinal dilations and tracheal displacements indicative of strumae.
    • Verified suspicious findings through scintigraphy in 117 cases.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of public X-ray screening in detecting strumae.
    • To assess the prevalence of tracheal abnormalities associated with strumae.
    • To determine the diagnostic yield of scintigraphy and cytology for suspicious findings.

    Summary:

    • Scrutinized 117 photofluorograms for signs of strumae, with 42 cases requiring scintigraphic verification.
    • Identified tracheal constriction and displacement in 28 patients, most of whom were euthyroid.

  • Conducted cytologic analysis on 14 "cold" thyroid nodules, leading to various treatments including hormone substitution, surgery, and radio-iodine therapy.

    • Impact:

    • Demonstrated that public X-ray screening is a valuable tool for detecting treatable strumae.
    • Highlighted the cost-effectiveness of screening programs for early thyroid disease identification.
    • Showcased the successful management of diverse thyroid conditions identified through screening.
