Radioactive material, naturally occurring treatment

Radloiodlne Treatment Radioiodine therapy is particularly well-suited for the treatment of autonomously functioning thyroid tissue. Radioactive iodine, like the natural element, is taken up by the thyroid gland via an active process (the sodium iodide symporter) and accumulates within the thyroid gland. The therapeutic effect occurs as a result of tissue destruction (radiation thyroiditis) caused by short-reached (3 radiation detection is enabled due to emission of a small portion of irradiation. The radioactive material is selectively trapped by the more active autonomously functioning cells and, to a lesser extent, by normal thyrocytes, which depend on TSH stimulation to increase iodine uptake. 

The nature of the contamination of the environment, as well as the degree of hazard, is given by properties of the radiation source and by the character of the contamination (whether it occurs during the usual operation of nuclear equipment or treatment of radioactive materials, or whether it results from an accident). The human organism can be exposed either directly (by inhalation, ingestion of contaminated water and/or food, or contamination of the skin) or indirectly (when contaminated materials enter into...
