Radioiodine imaging is superior to ultrasonography in congenital hypothyroidism
This study compared the use of ultrasonography with radioiodine imaging in the evaluation of congenital hypothyroidism. The researchers conclude that radioiodine imaging is more informative than thyroid ultrasonography in determining the cause of congenital hypothyroidism. However, ultrasonography reveals additional abnormalities in infants with thyroid dysgenesis that may provide insight into the causes of congenital
hypothyroidism.

hypothyroidism. J Pediatr 2003;143:759-64.
