Why is radioactive iodine useful in diagnosing and treating certain thyroid conditions?

Health
1 answer:
Nataly [62]3 years ago

 <span>It's used because the thyroid is the only organ in your body that absorbs iodine. Radioactive iodine scans show if the thyroid is overactive or under active (hyper and hypo) and it can help tell if certain types of thyroid cancer spread throughout the body. High doses of radioactive iodine basically cause the thyroid to kill itself by up taking massive amounts of iodine, and it also minimizes the radiation exposure to the rest of your body.</span>

When the head rotates or tilts, the otoliths in the vestibule sacs shifts, causing the fluid in the semicircular canals to move, bending hair cells, which turn in activate neural signals and notify them about the head's position and movement. The vestibule nerve connects with the cochlear nerve to form the auditory nerve, which relays information to the brain about balance.
