PRELIMINARY/TENTATIVE DETAILS (to be fully investigated): A female with a child reported for renal scan at Vidant Medical Center recently and complained that she thought that radiation she received from hypothyroid treatment in the Spring of last year (2012) had adversely affected her child. Attending Nuclear Medicine Tech notified the Nuclear Medicine supervisor, and the female patient's chart was reviewed and indicated that she had had approximately 19 mCi radioiodine administered in March 2012. Pregnancy test was reported as negative at time of administration and the woman answered that she had not had sex within ten (10) days prior to therapy. However, based upon the reported age of the child, it is possible that the female may have been newly pregnant at the time of administration.
