Mecial Question

["Williamson, Matthew" <Matthew.Williamson@nypa.gov>]

We have a worker about to undergo a thyroid ablation.  He is scheduled for
an "uptake test."

Can someone enlighten me on what this is?  Particularly, if it is a nuclear
medicine procedure with a smaller administration of I-131?
