Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A thyroid scan is the best choice for detecting tumors of the thyroid gland. This test involves injecting a small amount of radioactive material into the body and then using a special camera to produce images of the thyroid gland. This allows doctors to see if there are any abnormal growths or tumors present. The other options (thyroxine, total calcium, protein-bound iodine) are not specific tests for detecting thyroid tumors.
