Technetium-99m-labelled pertechnetate in combination with a gamma camera produces very high resolution thyroid images. In patients with a history of neck irradiation, nonpalpable cold nodules can now be detected. Either a palpable nodule or nonpalpable cold area on scintiphoto is sufficient indication to at least consider surgical operation. (ERB)
