radioiodine and thyroid gland
نویسندگان
چکیده
administration of a precise amount of activity in thyroid gland radioiodine (¹³¹i) therapy is of prime importance. several methods for this purpose have been suggested and used over many years. in this paper, a method for required ¹³¹i activity calculation for each case has been proposed. major factors affecting ¹³¹i calculation such as gland volume, integral dose, and prescription index have been described. using the method, ¹³¹i activity or any other radioisotope activity required for a certain case can be determined with a good estimate.

Introduction: High-dose radioactive iodine therapy in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) may adversely affect the salivary gland function. This study is aimed to evaluate the effect of radioactive iodine (RAI) with dose of 100 mCi in DTC patients compared to lower doses of less than 30 mCi in hyperthyroid cases. Methods: Fifty four patients (13 men and 41 women) age: 42.3±14.3 (21-71) years w...

Salivary gland involvement is one of the radioiodine therapy complications. Salivary gland scintigraphy in quantitative mode can accurately evaluate salivary gland function. Methods: Salivary gland scintigraphy was performed with Tc-99m Pertechnetate, at the time of iodine therapy as a basic study and then 3 weeks and 3 months afterwards. Ejection Fraction (EF) of parotid and submandibula...

OBJECTIVE A 61 years old woman presented with low grade fever and weight loss for a month. Thyroid function tests showed hyperthyroidism: increased technetium-99m pertechnetate ((99m)Tc O(-)4) and radioiodine ((131)I) uptake and elevated thyroid stimulating hormone receptor antibodies (TSHRAb). She also had high erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsies of left thyro...
