On September 29, 2022, a patient was administered an I-131 treatment to the thyroid. The patient did not receive the additional administration of Thyrogen, a hormone meant to enhance the uptake of I-131 to the thyroid. This resulted in dose delivered to other areas of the body and an underdose to the thyroid of preliminarily greater than 20 percent. Additional preliminary calculations showed that the bladder received approximately 17 Rem and the patient received a whole body dose of 39 Rem. | On September 29, 2022, a patient was administered an I-131 treatment to the thyroid.
