Minimal dosage of iodide required to suppress uptake of iodine-131 by normal thyroid.
Sodium iodide was given in increasing doses to mentally defective children with normal thyroid function. Maximal suppression of iodine-131 uptake was achieved with 1500 to 2000 micrograms of iodide per square meter of body surface per day, but quickly rebounded when iodide was discontinued. This minimal effective dose is important if countermeasures against fallout are employed.

Thyroid scanning is performed to examine the thyroid gland disorders using 99mTc. Through the obtained images can evaluate the size of the thyroid gland, the amount of its removal compared with the salivary gland, examine the thyroid nodules and its performance impairments. According to the scan view, it is possible to differentiate between hot and cold thyroid nodules that need different thera...
متن کاملNormal Gallbladder Visualization during Post-Ablative Iodine-131 Scan of Thyroid Cancer
Whole body iodine-131 scan is a well-established imaging method for the detection of metastatic or residual tumor sites in patients with well-differentiated thyroid cancer. Many false-positive iodine-131 scan findings mimicking metastatic thyroid cancer have long been reported. The authors describe a false positive uptake in normal gallbladder on post-ablative iodine-131 scan in a patient with ...
متن کاملEffects of 3-nitro-L-tyrosine on thyroid function in the rat: an experimental model for the dehalogenase defect.
The effects on thyroid function of an inhibitor of tyrosine dehalogenase, 3-nitro-L-tyrosine (MNT) have been investigated in rats. In preliminary studies, marked inhibition of iodotyrosine deiodination was demonstrated in rats drinking 8 mM MNT. A series of experiments was then performed in which rats received Remington low iodine diet and 8 mM MNT as drinking fluid. This regimen had the follow...
متن کاملPrediction of post-treatment hypothyroidism using changes in thyroid volume after radioactive iodine therapy in adolescent patients with Graves' disease
BACKGROUND The goal of iodine-131 therapy for pediatric Graves' disease is to induce hypothyroidism. However, changes in post-treatment thyroid volume have not been investigated in pediatric and/or adolescent patients. OBJECTIVE The aim of this retrospective study was to examine whether changes in thyroid volume predict post-treatment hypothyroidism in adolescent Graves' disease patients. P...
