Title: On the occurrence of hypothyroidism after radioiodine resection (in German)

Journal Article · · RoeFo - Fortschritte auf dem Gebiete der Roentgenstrahlen und der bildgebenden Verfahren

An attempt was made to determine the dose of radioiodine in the treatment of hyperthyroidism with reference to the number of Cs and rep values. It was proved desirable to administer no more than 8 mC and 30,000 rep. An analysis of patients treated between 1956 and 1961 revealed six permanent cases of hypothyroidism; each had been treated with a greater dose than the above. The occurrence of hynofunction in cases treated with a dose greater than the above is compared statistically with cases treated with smaller doses. A number of examples are discussed.
