Recently, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) official website issued a notice: It is recommended that neonates and children under 3 years of age undergo thyroid follow-up monitoring within 3 weeks after receiving iodinated contrast injection
.
Based on recently published retrospective studies
.
The thyroid is a gland in the neck that releases hormones that help control many functions of the body

Retrospective studies suggest that underactive thyroid or a temporary drop in thyroid hormone levels is rare
.
However, when needed, these conditions should be detected and treated early to prevent potential future complications
.
Newborns, especially those born prematurely, and children with underlying medical conditions such as heart disease in the first three years of life are at higher risk for thyroid disease
