Ion recombination correction for very high dose-per-pulse high-energy electron beams.
TL;DR: The dependence of ksat on the dose-per-pulse value is derived, based on the general equation that describes the ion recombination in the Boag theory, and a new equation for ksat, depending on known or measurable quantities, is presented.

Influence of thyroid volume reduction on calculated dose in radioiodine therapy of Graves' hyperthyroidism.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the consideration of thyroid mass reduction is important for an accurate estimation of the calculated dose in patients treated with 131I therapy.

TL;DR: In thyroidectomized patients, increased levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) are necessary to maximize 131I uptake as mentioned in this paper, which has been achieved by withdrawing L-thyroxine (L-T4) for 4-6 weeks, inducing hypothyroidism in patients.

Comparison between remnant and red marrow adsorbed dose in thyroid cancer patients submitted to 131I ablative therapy after r-TSH stimulation versus hypothyroidism induced by L-thyroxine withdrawl

TL;DR: The rh-TSH pre-treated patients seem to have a lower uptake compared to those in hypothyroidism induced by L-T4 withdrawal, and their red-marrow absorbed dose seems to be lower.

Study of the correlation between administered activity and radiation committed dose to the thyroid in 131I therapy of Graves' disease.
TL;DR: The radiation committed dose and the radioiodine activity to administer were calculated using a new, very simple algorithm and a comparison between the values calculated by this new algorithm and the old, classical Marinelli-Quimby algorithm shows that the new method is more accurate.
