Abstract
The aim of this study is characterizing the thyroid gland using
Doppler Ultrasonography and Thyroid Scintigraphy using GE
introduces Discovery NM-CT 670 pro and Q.Merix at nuclear
medicine department and GE Logiq E9 equipment at ultrasound
department at King Saud Medical Center (KSMC) in Saudi Arabia. The
total number of patients was 144 where the males were 33 with percent
22.9 and the number of females was 111 with percent 77.1. The results
showed that the group statistics for patients according to their gender.
For TSH the mean ± standard deviation for female was 0.88 ± 1.89 and
for male was 1.377 ± 3.82, for T4 female was 32.47 ± 31.51 and for
male was 31.39 ± 19.77, for right lobe length female was 4.99 ± 1.79
and for male was 5.77 ± 1.75, right lobe width for female was 2.99 ±
1.47 and for male was 3.09 ± 1.52, right lobe size female was 14.53 ±
7.37 and for male was 17.83 ± 8.75, right lobe volume for female was
14.95 ± 12.999 and for male was 19.41 ± 17.77. For left lobe length for
female was 4.55± 1.87 and for male was 5.64 ± 2.14, left lobe width for
female was 2.74 ± 1.44 and for male was 3.17 ± 153, left lobe size for
female 12.71 ± 7.65 and for male was 18.92 ± 10.83, left lobe volume
for female was 11.35 ± 9.97 and for male was 17.55 ± 16.10, for
thyroid uptake for female was 7.43 ± 9.21 and for male was 8.74 ±
9.89. Analysis of variance for thyroid uptake with other variables,
where the p-value show no significant difference between the thyroid
uptake with right lobe length, right lobe width, right lobe size, right
lobe volume and left lobe volume were the p-value was 0.550, 0.105,
0.992, 0.965 and 0.938 respectively. While show significant difference
between the thyroid uptake with left lobe length, left lobe width and
left lobe size were the p-value was 0.047, 0.000 and 0.004 respectively.
Correlation between the thyroid uptake with t4 hormone were the rate
of change for thyroid uptake increase by 0.1172 with each value for T4
hormone.
