After that, you will undergo the necessary additional examination, such as the assessment of liver and kidney function, ultrasound scan of the thyroid gland and lymph nodes of the neck, thyroid scintigraphy. This will allow your doctor to assess how effective radioiodine therapy will be and how well you will tolerate it. In addition, the doctor will calculate the dosage of the drug you need.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><strong>Radioiodine therapy with I-131<\/strong> includes oral administration of the drug.

You will take the drug in your ward, without visiting the manipulation room or operating room.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><strong>After taking radioactive iodine<\/strong>, you will stay in your ward for 24 to 48 hours. The next morning after the procedure, the dosimetrist will determine the amount of radiation in your body.

If the amount is high, then the dosimetric control will continue for another day, until a low amount of radiation in your body is detected.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">The isotope I-131 can accumulate not only in the thyroid gland, but also partially in the salivary glands.

After the procedure, you should drink at least 1 glass of water per hour and visit the toilet regularly. This will allow you to quickly remove radioactive iodine from the body. Food can be usual, without excess iodine in the diet.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">During these 48 hours, you can read, use a mobile phone, tablet or computer. All these devices will not be a source of radiation in the future.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><strong>Control examination<\/strong> includes scintigraphy, which is performed 7-10 days after radioiodine therapy. Based on the results of the examination, the doctor will determine how well the cells of the thyroid gland (or cancer metastases) have accumulated radioactive iodine.
