    Abstract:
    Twenty patients were submitted to thyroidectomy and treated with iodine-131. Ten out of them received 100 mCi, the other ten 200 mCi. The activity of the total body and of the blood was determined by experimental proceeding. The doses absorbed by blood and bone marrow were calculated on the basis of the experimentally determined values. For the exposure of the blood, a medium value of 0.44 rd/mCi was found after 100 mCi and a medium value of 0.47 rd/mCi after 200 mCi. The corresponding values for the bone marrow are 0.24 and 0.3 rd/mCi, respectively. The total exposure is thus not so high as has been indicated hitherto in literature.
