Fetal thyroid dose during I-131 thyroid ablation

[john.r.johnson@ccmail.pnl.gov (John R Johnson)]

     The fetal thyroid dose for different conditions can be calculated 
     using the model in HPJ Vol. 43 pp 573-582. The risk and hence a 
     decision about the minimum time can only be made by the expectant 
     mother and her doctor.
