Although surgical treatment of nontoxic multinodular goiter remains the most effective therapy, I-131 is a reasonable alternative in cases where thyroidectomy is not appropriate. Selection of I-131 activity in the management of nontoxic multinodular goiter has largely been empirical. The use of dosimetric measurements in guiding I-131 therapy in the treatment of a patient with a recurrent, nontoxic, multinodular goiter is described.
