A Technic for Measurement of Radioactive Iodine (I-131) Uptake by the Human Thyroid Gland

Summary It has been found that with the bismuth cathode tube, a 50 uC dose can be used efficiently, and that a tube-to-patient distance of 17 cm will cover a sufficiently large area to make variations in gland size unimportant to the accuracy of the test.
