The effectiveness of three methods of assessing the patient body burden following 131I therapy was compared: (a) urine assay, (b) external exposure rate measurements, and (c) predictions based on a pretherapy diagnostic work-up. The urine assay method exhibited the greatest potential for error and personnel risk. The diagnostic work-up provided predictions of the body burden as a function of time, which may be applied to estimate the expected hospital stay. The direct external exposure rate survey showed the potential for being an accurate, reliable, and relatively safe method of monitoring the patient body burden.
比较了三种评估¹³¹I治疗后患者体内负荷的方法的有效性：(a)尿液分析，(b)外部暴露率测量，以及(c)基于治疗前诊断检查的预测。尿液分析方法显示出最大的误差可能性和人员风险。诊断检查提供了作为时间函数的体内负荷预测，可用于估计预期住院时间。直接外部暴露率调查显示出作为监测患者体内负荷的准确、可靠且相对安全的方法的潜力。
