Radioiodine uptake (RAIU) test with iodine-123 (Na[I-123]I) or iodine-(131) (Na[I-131]I) enables accurate evaluation and quantification of iodine uptake and kinetics within thyroid cells. Thyroid Scintigraphy (TS) employ-ing Na[123I]I or 99mTc-pertechnetate (Na[99mTc]TcO4) provides information regarding the function and topographical distribution of thyroid cells activity, including detection and localization of ectopic thyroid tis-sue. Destructive thyrotoxicosis is characterized by low RAIU with scintigraphically reduced radiotracer activity in the thyroid tissue, while productive thyrotoxicosis (i.e. hyperthyroidism stricto sensu ) is characterized by high RAIU with scintigraphically diffuse (i.e. Graves' Disease, GD and diffuse thyroid auton-omy) or focal (i.e. autonomously functioning thyroid nodules, AFTN) overactivity. Accordingly, RAIU and/or TS are widely used to differentiate different causes of thyrotoxicosis. In addition, several radiopharmaceuti-cals are also available to help differentiate benign from malignant thyroid nodules and inform clinical deci-sion-making: scintigraphic identification of AFTNs obviate fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy, and [99mTc] Tc-hexakis-(2-methoxy-2-isobutyl isonitrile ([99mTc]Tc-MIBI) and/or 18F-fluoro-D-glucose ([F-18]FDG) may complement the work-up of cytologically indeterminate cold nodules for reducing the need for diagnostic lobectomies/thyroidectomies. Finally, RAIU studies are also useful for calculating the administered therapeutic activity of Na[131I]I to treat hyperthyroidism and euthyroid multinodular goiter. All considered, thyroid molecular imaging allows functional characterization of different thyroid diseases, even before clinical symptoms become manifest, and remains integral to the management of such conditions. Our present paper summarizes basic concepts, clinical applications, and potential developments of thyroid molecular imaging in patients affected by thyrotoxicosis and thyroid nodules.(c) 2022 The Authors.
