[Results of a survey on the use of 123 iodine for scintigraphic exploration of the thyroid gland (author's transl)].
A survey of thyroid gland scintigraphy with 123 Iodine was carried out on 1131 patients, and data concerning the time of examination as well as indications, scintigrams and uptake measurements are presented. Minimal dosage provides a sufficient counting rate and good quality images and delivers a radioactive dose 15 times lower than with conventional 131 Iodine scintigraphy.
