Criteria for release of cats that received I-131 therapy

[Lorna Hubble <ljb1@CORNELL.EDU>]

Hi all,



We are wondering what criteria other vet nuclear medicine facilities are 

being held to in terms of release of cats that have received I-131 

therapy.  We are held to a minimum stay time (5 days), a maximum dose rate 

at a foot from the thyroid (0.5 mrem/h) and a maximum activity remaining in 

the cat (200 uCi).  We would also like to know what regulatory agency is 

involved with that criteria.  Please respond directly to me, unless you 

feel that the whole group would be interested.  Thank you in advance for 

your input.  It will be greatly appreciated.



Lorna
