Debates regarding thyroid stunning -- a phenomenon whereby a diagnostic dose of radioiodine decreases uptake of a subsequent therapeutic dose by remnant thyroid tissue or by functioning metastases ...

conducted a systematic review of controlled studies of radioiodine therapy in such patients. Longitudinal studies of the effect of a single dose of ≤150 mCi (5.56 GBq) of radioiodine showed that ...

plus restriction of milk and vegetable ingestion reduced thyroid radioiodine uptake by 70%; 40% of this reduction was attributable to KI. Radioiodine was found in the air at the time KI was given ...

It is not possible to identify directly whether reduced radioiodine uptake between diagnostic and therapeutic scans is the result of stunned tissue or ablation. Thus, several studies have used the ...

France: A recent study has found that a non-radioiodine follow-up strategy is non-inferior to postoperative radioactive ...
