Analysis of Correlation Between Urinal Excretion Ratio of Radioactive Iodine and Daily Urinal Excretion Volume

Internal exposure to radionuclide results from depositing of radioactive substance within human body and is called intra-body exposure as well. Radioactive substance may find its way into human body via nose, mouth or skin and internal exposure to radionuclide is rarely ascribable to radioactive substance deposited through skin. Radioactive substances deposited in human tissues or organs do not stay there for good. Instead, they are transferred to other tissues, organs or excreted by sweat, excrements, urine and breath. However, natural excretion has its limits in terms of safeguarding human body actively against radioactive exposure. When radionuclide is deposited in human organs or tissues, diuretic or evacuant is used to induce excrements or urine to increase removal and discharging of radionuclide artificially, thereby reducing internal exposure. Therefore, we have attempted to propose an optimum approach to removing and excreting radioactive iodine by analyzing the correlation among the radioactive iodine intake ratio, daily urinal excretion ratio and volume
