Iodine 131 is an artificial radionuclide that utilizes the highly selective uptake of iodine by human thyroid tissue to reduce the production of thyroid hormones by destroying thyroid tissue cells through the administration of radioactive iodine ions, thus achieving the therapeutic purpose. Iodine-131 treatment is commonly used for hyperthyroidism and after surgery for thyroid cancer.
Thyroid medications need to be stopped before treatment with iodine-131. After Iodine-131 treatment, it is usually necessary to appropriately reduce the intake of foods high in iodine, such as nori and seaweed.
