Radioactive Iodine Therapy

Radioactive Iodine Therapy

This treatment is primarily used for hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer. It involves ingesting a radioactive iodine capsule or liquid, which selectively destroys overactive thyroid cells while leaving the rest of the body unharmed. Patients may need isolation for a short period to prevent radiation exposure to others. The effectiveness is monitored through follow-up thyroid function tests.
