Radiotherapy
The last topic of this course on thyroid ultrasound is dedicated to radioiodine therapy. An important topic if you are involved in the treatment of patients with hyperthyroidism and cancer. But also for referring physicians. After all, you have to know for which patient groups radioiodine...
