Just prior to the 1982 Annual Meeting of the European Thyroid
Association in Brussels, a number of outstanding experts in the
field of X-ray fluorescence gathered at the Academisch Ziekenhuis
of the Free University of Brussels in a joint effort to more
clearly define the actual place and value of the latest newcomer
among the techniques available for the in vivo assessment of
thyroid function. It is the merit of Prof. M. Jonckheer to have
organised this meeting and to have made available the work
presented there to a larger public in the form of this monograph.
Both, the meeting and the written accounts thereof are greatly
appreciated by all thyroidologists who care for properly defining
the genuine value of X-Ray fluorescence in scientific research and
in clinical management of thyroid disorder. Three main conclusions
can be drawn from the work presented 1. X-ray fluorescence has
become a safe, convenient and reliable tool for measuring
intrathyroidal iodine stores in vivo with an inter-assay
reproducibility estimated at roughly 10% 2. X-ray fluorescence,
used by expert hands, is a highly interesting tool to follow
changes of intra thyroidal iodine stores in time, subsequent e. g.
to the exposure of the thyroid gland to excess iodine 3. In
contrast, no definite place of X-ray fluorescence as a technique in
routine assessment of thyroid disease is yet at the horizon This
latter conclusion may appear somewhat disappointing.
