Radiation Iodine Scan

I had a radiation iodine test done, and the tech said he had never seen levels so high.  My uptake was 96% was does that mean.  Also the scan showed my left side was enlarged.  Can this be treated with radiation iodine, or does this normally require surgery.

It was done with uptake, it was a 2 day test.  My tsh was 0.004, free t4 13.5 and free t3 was 353.

Was the imaging done alone with uptake?

What are the TSH free and T4 levels?

If you tested positively for TSI antibodies, along with low TSH int may indicate Grave's Disease

I'm sure after work many of our "local experts" who have had this test done will stop by with some advice ... they are patients like yourself.  I have not had the test and don't know enough to offer my two cents.  WELCOME to the COMMUNITY!
