| Popis: | DURING the past decade many important advances have been made in our knowledge of thyroid physiology and disease. Radioiodine has been one of the important agents used in bringing about these achievements. Although only a few institutions, all of them in America, have used radioiodine extensively, a large literature has accumulated on the subject. In 1938, within four years after the preparation of the first artificial radioactive isotopes by Joliot and Curie (1) and the preparation of radioiodine by Fermi (2), Hertz, Roberts and Evans (3) in Boston and Hamilton (4) in California had made reports on the use of radioiodine in the study of human physiology. In this review we hope to bring together most of the important work which has been done in this field. Attention is called to the valuable review already published by Rawson and McArthur (5), which covers much of the application of radioiodine to thyroid physiology prior to 1947. |
