Re:

Moshe



I don't think so, but its been years since I've looked at the time it takes

for the radiodine to clear from the mothers blood vs. uptake by fetal

tissue. The fetal thyroid does not concentrate iodine until the third (I

think) month. You can check on this in an old publication of mine at;



FETAL THYROID DOSE FROM INTAKES OF RADIOIODINE BY THE MOTHER; J.R. Johnson

,AECL-7694, Health Physics 43 No. 4 (1982) 573-582.
