Bill -
Why limit it to only I-131 ... how about ANY radionuclide with a
significant gamma likely to hang around in the body more than a few hours? I
like the concept ... it's very similar to folks with prosthetics (say artificial
hips or knees, or in my Dad's case, even cardiac stints) having a card to get
through metal detectors.
My $0.02 only ...

Something that identifies the isotope, date of administration and the institution P.O.C.? A wallet sized card perhaps.....Any thoughts or examples out there???? Thanks William A. Lorenzen, MS |
