A thyroid scan is a nuclear medicine test used to diagnose and monitor thyroid disorders. It uses a small amount of radioactive iodine to make the thyroid gland visible on images, allowing doctors to assess its size, shape, and function. This can help identify conditions such as hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, nodules, or cancer.
