BS>A comparison is presented of the calculation of thyrold dose of lodlne-124 and iodine-131. It is concluded that iodine-124 would be a therapeutlc tool of greater precision than iodine-131. both for control of thyrotoxicosis and for thyroid carcinoma. The biological effects of equal doses of the two isotopes are discussed. (C.H.)
