Title: THE CLINICAL EXPERIENCE WITH RADIOACTIVE IODINE IN THE TREATMENT OF THYROTOCICOSIS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4288596

Radioactive iodine has been used for the treatment of selected cases of thyrotoxicosis. 140 patients have been treated during the last two years. The criteria used for selection of case are summarized. In dosage prediction, the factors that were teken into consideration are the estimated g1and weight, the predetermined iodine uptake and turnover, the type of the glandular enlargement, and the age of the patients. The total dosage given to the patients varied between 5 to 50 mc. Most of the cases treated with a single dose responded favorably, but some of them required the repetion of the treatment once or more after periods varying from 3 to 6 months. (C.H.)
