Objectives Week 5 - Livers, Spleens, and Thyroids

  1. In the thyroid, identify the steps to the bio-feedback loop that regulates hormone production.
  2. Define hyper/hypothyroidism.
  3. Calculate a thyroid uptake given the following data: (Pill at 0 hr = 1,000,151, Rm Bkg at 0 hr = 151, Patient thyroid at 24 hr = 91,223, Pt Bkg at 24 hr = 1,223) (decay factor for 24 hrs - 0.278). Answer - 32%
  4. Define the steps required to image a thyroid.
  5. Calculate an ejection fraction of a gal bladder where Pre CCK = 58,778 cts and 15 minutes = 12,457 cts. Answer - 79%
