RADIOIODINE METABOLISM IN CHILDREN AND ADULTS AFTER THE INGESTION OF VERY SMALL DOSES

Journal Article · · Science See Saiensu
One day after oral ingestion of very small doses (about 0.01 microcurie) of an /sup 131/I//sup 125/I mixture, the radioiodine content of the thyroid gland was similar in children and adults (about 20% of the dose ingested) as was the biological half life of the iodine (about 90 days). Measurements were made in 15 minutes by means of a whole-body counter with a cylindrical sodium iodide (Tl) crystal, 20 cm in diameter and 10 cm thick. (auth)
