In postsurgical patients with thyroid cancer, there is no universal agreement on the I-131 dose for total body scanning as well as on the dose for ablation (ABL) of the thyroid remnant. The objective of this study was to determine (1) whether or not using a higher scanning dose results in a lower success rate on subsequent ABL of thyroid remnant, and (2) whether or not ABL with 100 mCi is more effective than ABL with 30 mCi regardless of the scanning dose.
