The authors summarize their results of the use of an ultrasonic technique to monitor thyroid size after radioactive iodine treatment of patients with differing types of hyperthyroidism and suggest the possibility of a thyroid-size-adjusted 131I dose leading to a substantial decrease in thyroid size being considered when choosing treatment.
