Description/Abstract:

ONE DAY AFTER ORAL INGESTION OF VERY SMALL DOSES (ABOUT 0.01 MICROCURIE) OF AN 131I/125I MIXTURE, THE RADIOIODINE CONTENT OF THE THYROID GLAND WAS SIMILAR IN CHILDREN AND ADULTS (ABOUT 20 PERCENT 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 WHOLE-BODY COUNTER WITH A CYLINDRICAL SODIUM-IODIDE (TL) CRYSTAL, 20 CM IN DIAMETER AND 10 CM THICK.
