Urinary Iodine Excretion After Contrast Computed Tomography Scan

Urinary iodine excretion after contrast computed tomography scan: implications for radioactive iodine use.

IMPORTANCE Patients who undergo radiographic studies with contrast receive an enormous bolus of iodine. This can delay subsequent use of radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy because the iodine can compete for uptake. There is a paucity of literature on the minimum interval between contrast administration and RAI therapy. OBJECTIVE To better characterize how long it takes for the iodine load from ...

Study on the effect of high calcium intake on serum protein bound iodine and urinary excretion of iodine

  Iodine deficiency remains a major health problem in the world, including some parts of Iran. It has been recognized that there is usually a close and inverse relationship between iodine in the soil and water and presence of endemic goiter. Calcium has been suggested as one of goitrogens, though the definite role, extent and mechanism particularly in human have not been studied. Serum protein-...

Multiple chest nodules on computed tomography scan.

Digital Object Identifier: 10.1188/03.CJON.697-698 Mr. M is a 75-year-old man recently diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The first two courses of chemotherapy were administered without problems, and Mr. M said he was feeling well enough to continue the remodeling of his home. While undergoing his third course of chemotherapy, he returned to the outpatient clinic with neutropenia, fev...

Computed Tomography Scan and ICD Interaction

Although it has been considered a safe procedure, computed tomography scanning uses high doses of radiation and can cause malfunctioning in those patients with ICD when the radiation is directly incident on the device. We present a case of ventricular oversensing during a thoracic computed tomography.
