Excerpt

This year marks the 75th anniversary since Saul Hertz first administered radioiodine (I-130–I-131) to a patient on January 1st 1941 in the Massachusetts General Hospital as a treatment for hyperthyroidism. It followed his previous studies on animal thyroid physiology with I-128 to discover how radioiodine could be administered to have a maximal radiation effect in hyperthyroidism. In May 1946, Hertz and Roberts published the follow-up of their series of 29 patients treated with radioactive iodine for hyperthyroidism [1]. …
