Since the thyroid is the key organ in metabolism, and since radioactive iodine-131 makes a beeline for the thyroid, a simple check with a scintillation counter held against the throat can show when it is overactive: an overactive thyroid removes more iodine-131 from the blood than a normal one, and this shows in a higher reading on the dial of the counter.
