Hi Everyone,

The following message was posted on the Med Physics Listserver but might also be of interest to the Nuc. Med and RadSafe listserver communities.  I have already discussed this problem with Debbie, but if anyone has any sage advice or better yet, actual experience, please respond!

Hello,

We have a physician who wants to give 200 mCi of I-131 to a patient
who is on dialysis.  The dialysis would be two days after the I-131
is delivered.

If you have any suggestions of how to handle this contamination
problem please email or call me, today if possible.

Thanks,
Debbie Rothley, M.S.
