The thyroid gland is a relatively small gland in the neck. Proper imaging technique is critical to optimize the visualization of thyroid nodules and other abnormalities. Some nuclear medicine clinics do not follow all of the recommended SNM guidelines thereby jeopardizing the quality of the images acquired. To some extent this has resulted because equipment manufacturers are not providing the “pinhole collimator.” The purpose of this study is to evaluate what % of nuclear medicine clinics nationwide are not using a pinhole collimator for thyroid imaging and/or not following other standard recommended techniques.
