[Radioactive iodine (I-131) therapy].

Nihon rinsho. Japanese journal of clinical medicine, 1999
It was in 1942 that radioactive iodine, I-131, was applied to therapy of Graves' disease. Recently, this therapy is popular in Japan because the maximum therapeutic dose of I-131 for outpatients was estimated. The feature of I-131 therapy in patients with hyperthyroidism due to Graves' disease is as follow as; 1.
