    Author: Carlisle MR, McDougall IR.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 2000 Nov; 25(11):895-7. PubMed ID: 11079586.
    Abstract:
    Radiation sialadenitis is a complication of I-131 therapy for thyroid cancer. They authors report a case of intense uptake by parotid glands in a diagnostic I-131 scan (2 mCi) in whom sialadenitis had developed previously after a 100-mCi dose of I-131. Similar examples of images could not be found in the literature.
