Abstract
Measurement of thyroid uptake is perhaps one of the most basic procedures performed in nuclear medicine today. The uptake procedure assesses iodide trapping and organification within the gland ([1][1]). It is most commonly performed to differentiate thyroiditis from other forms of thyrotoxicosis and
