Iodine-131 therapy in sporadic nontoxic goiter.

UNLABELLED The effect of radioiodine in the treatment of nontoxic goiter is seldom evaluated quantitatively. The aim of this study was threefold: (a) to assess the effect of 131I on goiter volume, (b) to establish a relationship between CT volume reduction and the amount of radioactivity taken up by the thyroid and (b) to assess the precision of scintigraphic thyroid volume measurements. METH...

Pi lot Study of Iodine - 131 –

Purpose: The survival for children with relapsed or metastatic neuroblastoma remains poor. More effective regimens with acceptable toxicity are required to improve prognosis. Iodine-131–metaiodobenzylguanidine (131I-MIBG) selectively targets radiation to catecholamine-producing cells, including neuroblastoma cells. A pilot study was performed to examine the feasibility of a novel regimen combin...

Treatment of hyperthyroidism with iodine-131.

A retrospective study of radiolodine therapy for thyrotoxicosis was done in 402 patients over a period of 10 years from 1963 to 1972. The patients were classified as follows: (1) Age (2) Sex (3) Size of the gland estimated by physical exmination (4) Type of goitre (diffuse, nodular) (5) Ocular signs (6) Number of doses and (7) Total dose of 1-13 1 administered. The usual age for the treatment w...
