Abstract:
Thyroid ultrasound was used to measure thyroid volume in patients with Basedow before and after treating by I-131. The results were as follow: after treatment of I-131 (from 2 to 16 months, average dose: 6.3+/-1.14 mCi), the thyroid volume of all most these patients decreased clearly in comparison with before treatment. Decreased average rate was 60.5%.
