Scintigraphy is employed almost systematically in current medical practice for initial thyroid nodules investigation. More and more authors observed that scintigraphy has lost importance confronted with others modern exam, but there are no statistical essay to demonstrate this fact. The aim of our work was to study, on 369 patients, the real contribution of scintigraphy to establish diagnosis and therapeutical strategy. Scintigraphy was truly useful only in 47 (12.7%) patients. We may conclude that thyroid scintigraphy ought to be indicated only in low TSH thyroid nodules, ectopic goiter and, eventually, in metastasis uptake radioactive iodine.
