  • 7 laboratories located in Seoul were surveyed for the standardization of radioiodine thyroid uptake test in Korea. The result revealed that the currently utilized methods are almost standardized now, when the reference standard is IAEA recommendation method, 1962. Mean 24 hour uptake of thyroidal $^{131}I$ in Korean euthyroids is $31.6{\pm}8.80%$, and no significant interlaboratory differences are noticed. These results were caused probably by the late introduction of detector facilities into Korea after the appearance of publication of IAEA recommendations.

  • Adsorption and desorption characteristics of methyl iodide at high temperature conditions up to $250^{\circ}C$ by TEDA-impregnated activated carbon, which is used for radioiodine retention in nuclear facility, was experimentally evaluated. In the range of temperature from $30^{\circ}C$ to $250^{\circ}C$, the adsorption capacity of base activated carbon decreased sharply with increasing temperature but that of TEDA-impregnated activated carbon showed higher value even at high temperature ranges. Especially, the desorption amount of methyl iodide on TEDA-impregnated carbon represented lower value than that on unimpregnated carbon. The breakthrough curves of methyl iodide in the fixed bed packed with base carbon and TEDA-impregnated activated carbon at high temperature were compared. TEDA-impregnated activated carbon would be applicable to adsorption process up to $150^{\circ}C$ for the removal of radioiodine in a nuclear facility.

  • A 57 year old female patient was diagnosed as primary hyperparathyroidism after incidental finding of hypercalcemia. She was treated with radioiodine for Graves disease twenty years ago. Preoperative localization procedures with sonography and CT were unrevealing but 201 thallium scintiscan clearly demonstrated ectopic parathyroid adenoma which was confirmed by surgery. Brief review of the preoperative parathyroid localization procedure was done and the relationship between radioiodine therapy and hyperparathyroidism was discussed.
