Abstract
Tracer amounts of At211 were given by mouth to 8 patients suffering from various disorders of the thyroid gland. The selective accumulation by that organ was variable and ranged from 19% to 0.34% and averaged 5%. The thyroid glands were removed by surgical extirpation from 13 to 22 hrs. after they received the At211. Comparable expts. with the rat show a thyroidal accumulation of At211 to be 1% of the administered dose.Keywords
