Thyroid uptake and scintigraphy using 99mTc pertechnetate: standardization in normal individuals

CONTEXT: Thyroid uptake and scintigraphy using 99mTc-pertechnetate has proven to be more advantageous than with 131I-iodide, since the images have better quality, the procedure is faster and the patient is submitted to a lower radiation dose.
