OSTI ID:4288119
Clinical results are reviewed for a group of 117 patients treated for hyperthyroidism with iodine-131. The importance of clinical, biological, and physical factors on results is stressed. Various methods for determining thyroid mass are discussed. A visualization technique, called pneumothyroid, is described in which the thyroid volume is determined from a series of x rays and tomographs following the injection of air into the tissue surrounding the thyroid capsule. The apparatus used resembles that used in pneumothorax. This method was found superior to palpation for estimations of thyroid weight prior to calculation of iodine-131 dose. (C.H.)
