AB After careful review of the hazards associated with therapeutic dosages of radioiodine, we have modified our handling procedures. Special care must be taken to guard against contamination, exposure, and airborne concentrations during administration. Use of a specially designed portable Plexiglas iodination hood has greatly reduced personnel exposure to airborne concentrations during administration of high-level dosages in a patient’s room.
