Description

For radioiodine therapy of the thyroid gland with 131I dose equations of the classical method of calculation are compared with the formalism of the MIRD recommendations. A very good agreement was obtained for the dose absorbed in the thyroid, whereas the deviation is considerable in calculating the whole-body dose. The value of the absorbed fraction for calculating the dose portions from the individual radiation components is described. (author)
