Thyroid Nuclear Imaging Scan

Nationwide rates for HCPCS 78013

A scan of the thyroid gland in the neck taken after a small dose of radioactive tracer. The pictures show the gland's size, shape and position and reveal whether a lump is taking up more or less tracer than the tissue around it. It helps sort out an overactive thyroid or a nodule found on examination.
