Radiation dose rates of differentiated thyroid cancer patients after 131I therapy

Postoperative 131 I treatment for differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) can create a radiation hazard for nearby persons. The present prospective study aimed to investigate radiation dose rates in 131 I-treated DTC patients to provide references for radiation protection. A total of 141 131 I-treated D...

Description
Summary:Postoperative 131 I treatment for differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) can create a radiation hazard for nearby persons. The present prospective study aimed to investigate radiation dose rates in 131 I-treated DTC patients to provide references for radiation protection. A total of 141 131 I-treated DTC patients were enrolled, and grouped into a singular treatment (ST) group and a repeated treatment (RT) group. The radiation dose rate of 131 I-treated patients was measured. The rate of achieving discharge compliance and restricted contact time were analyzed based on Chinese regulations. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the independent factors associated with the clearance of radioiodine. The rate of achieving discharge compliance ( 131 I retention
