Purpose: To retrospectively compare pretherapy iodine 123 (123I) and posttherapy iodine
131 (131I) sodium iodide whole-body scintigraphy of patients with newly diagnosed …

The aim of this study was to verify the capability of an MIRD formula‐based dosimetric
method to predict radioiodine kinetics (fraction of administered iodine transferred to the …

Radioactive therapy with 131 I (RAI) is commonly used during the management of patients
