Abstract
The hyperfunctioning thyroid nodule is a scintigraphic diagnosis by de finition. Its dignity is assessed by fine needle aspiration biopsy. Ra diographic methods and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are no primary tools in diagnosis of the hypofunctioning thyroid nodule but may reve al additional information, especially in cases of retrosternal goiter and thyroid malignomas.
