Radioactive 131Iodine body burden and blood dose estimates in treatment for differentiated thyroid cancer by external probe counting

Radioactive131 iodine (RAI) body burden is estimated in thyroid cancer patients by a) exposure rate meter and b) external probe counting. A calibration factor of 301 cpm/MBq (d = 16 cm) is used for the probe for estimates of whole body activity. Patients sit in a rotating stool with their center cor...
