As I-131 may be considered to be "chronic" rather than "acute" radiation,
the fractionated scheme probably works pretty much like the 60 mCi at once
dose. If the doc is trying to get "resting" cells to come alive by
fractionating, then it might be better. Maybe the practice is only
licensed for 15 mCi I-131 tops?
