Radioiodine therapy for hyperthyroidism
Radioiodine therapy is the safest, simplest, least expensive and most effective method for treatment of hyperthyroidism. The method employed in this research was a systematic bibliographic review, in which only valid studies or the clinically detailed enough open-labeled studies using validated scales were used. Iodine-131 (I-131) acts by the destructive effect of short-range beta radiation on ...
متن کاملEstimation of absorbed dose of salivary glands in radioiodine therapy and its reduction using pilocarpine [Persian]
Introduction: The use of radioactive iodine (131I) has become an important adjunct to the treatment of thyroid cancer and hyperthyroidism. Salivary gland has the ability to concentrate radioactive iodine under normal circumstances. Salivary gland dysfunction and dry mouth are the common side effectsof high-dose radioiodine therapy. The purposeof this stu...
متن کاملEvaluation the early effects of single high dose radioiodine therapy on lacrimal gland function
Background: The therapeutic administration of 131I for thyroid remnant ablation and for metastases comes up with some adverse effects. This study was conducted to investigate whether single high dose radioiodine therapy affects lacrimal gland functions or not. Materials and Methods: Seventy-eight eyes of 39 patients, who were diagnosed as differentiated thyroid carcinoma, were objectively teste...
متن کاملRadioiodine (131-I) treatment for Graves’ disease: Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation for patient personalized dose estimation
Background: Reliable estimation of radiation-absorbed dose is necessary to evaluate the benefits and the risks of radiopharmaceuticals used for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes in nuclear medicine. Materiel and Methods: This study included 47 patients treated with iodine-131 for Graves’ disease. A comparative study between Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation and MIRD formalism was carried out to ev...
