Re: I-131 misadministration
Mr. Tallon,
Your question was interesting. My answer for you was going to be yes,
use the ICRP, until I read your final paragraph. Did you receive help?
If so, could you forward some of the better replies to me. I am
interested to hear what others say.

Dear colleagues,
I must perform a dosimetric estimation on a misadministration of I-131
(NaI). I've experience on dose estimations from CT and general
radiodiagnostic procedures, but I can't say the same on Nuclear Medicine
procedures. The data I have is the administered dose (5 mCi) and the
thyroid estimated activity at 50 hours post-administration. Basically I
need estimate the EDE.
Do you think that it's sufficient to estimate the uptake of the patient
and use the ICRP publications to estimate the EDE? Does anyone have a
estimation procedure for dose estimations on I-131 misadministrations or
literature references?
I have and additional problem because after misadministration, about 4
hours later, the doctor began a treatment with a iodide solution to
block the thyroid.
Please, respond direct to me because I'm not sure if I'm subscribed to
dose-net
Thank you for your help.
Best regards
