A thermoluminescent method for estimation of effective thyroidal half-life of therapeutic 131I in toxic goitre.
The half-life of radio iodine, in the thyroid gland, was measured using thermoluminescent discs which were placed on the neck surface. Discs placed by hospital staff and by the patient gave self consistent results.
