Thyroid uptake of 131-I following kippuran renal scintillation camera studies in children.
The thyroid uptake of radioactive iodine after scintillation camera studies using -131I-labeled hippuran was studied and the radiation dose calculated in 30 euthyroid children with normal renal function. Fifteen children received Lugol's solution which reduced the thyroid uptake and radiation dose significantly.
