Description/Abstract:
OAK RIDGE TENNESSEE...SCAN MADE WITH IODINE-131...AN IMPORTANT AND CON TINUING MEDICAL APPLICATION OF RADIOISOTOPES IS THE STUDY OF THEY THYR OID GLAND AND THYROID CANCER THROUGH USE OF RADIOACTIVE IODINE. SEVER AL RADIOISOTOPES OF IODINE ARE AVAILABLE BUT FOR MANY YEARS IODINE-131 WHICH HAS AN EIGHT DAY HALF LIFE HAS BEEN THE PRINCIPAL RADIOISOTOPE USED. ITS VALUE FOR BOTH DIAGNOSIS AND THERAPY IS ACCEPTED. COMPARE WITH SCAN MADE WITH IODINE 130 (AEC-66-7784). BOTH SCANS WERE MADE 24 HOURS AFTER ADMINISTRATION OF THE RADIOISOTOPES--0.093 MC OF IODINE 1 31 0.5 MC OF IODINE 130.
