Description

The hyperfunctioning thyroid nodule is a scintigraphic diagnosis by definition. Its dignity is assessed by fine needle aspiration biopsy. Radiographic methods and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are no primary tools in diagnosis of the hypofunctioning thyroid nodule but may reveal additional information, especially in cases of retrosternal goiter and thyroid malignomas. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Der hypofunktionelle Strumaknoten ist per definitionem eine szintigraphische Diagnose, seine Dignitaet wird in aller Regel durch die Feinnadelpunktion abgeklaert. Radiologische Methoden und MR-Tomographie sind keine Mittel der primaeren Diagnosestellung beim kalten Knoten, koennen jedoch gelegentlich wichtige Zusatzinformation liefern, besonders in Faellen von retrosternaler Struma und Malignomen.
