| Event Description | The following information is a summary of a phone call with the North Kansas City Hospital Radiation Safety Officer (RSO):
On May 10, 2023, a nuclear medicine tech administered 125.7 mCi of I-131 to a patient for the thyroid cancer ablation at North Kansas City Hospital. The patient had received a pregnancy test on May 8, 2023, which was negative. On July 21, 2023, the hospital was notified that the patient was pregnant with an estimated fetal age of 7-10 weeks which would have had the patient pregnant at the time of administration, or shortly thereafter. This event is being reported because of the potential for a dose to the embryo. At this time there are no known negative effects to the patient. |
