A total of 10 volunteers were monitored for radiation doses, whose spouses were given radio-iodine (131I) orally. Nine of the spouses were given radio-iodine for Graves' disease and one for thyroid carcinoma. It was found that the highest radiation dose received by the volunteer was only 13.5% of the annual dose limit for individual members of the public. Hence, patients treated with radio-iodine do not pose a significant radiation hazard to the public.
共有10名志愿者接受了辐射剂量监测,他们的配偶口服了放射性碘(131I)。其中9名配偶因格雷夫斯病接受放射性碘治疗,1名因甲状腺癌接受治疗。结果发现,志愿者接受的最高辐射剂量仅为公众个人年剂量限值的13.5%。因此,接受放射性碘治疗的患者不会对公众构成重大辐射危害。
