Iodine Biokinetics and Radioiodine Exposure after Recombinant Human Thyrotropin-Assisted Remnant Ablation in Comparison with Thyroid Hormone Withdrawal

Abstract

In comparison with thyroid hormone withdrawal, rhTSH is associated with longer remnant half-life of radioactive iodine while also reducing radiation exposure to the rest of the body and also to the general public who come in contact with such patients.
