    Context: There is little consensus on the most appropriate dose regimen for radioiodine treatment (RIT) of Graves’ hyperthyroidism (GH), and quantitative studies on the role of the efficacy-affecting parameters are lacking. Objective: This prospective study was designed to evaluate the feasibility of quantitative RIT of GH using a modified formula, which took into account eight parameters associated with the outcome. Design: A 1-year follow-up study of 205 GH patients was performed. The administered activity of 131I was established using a formula, Activity MBq = [(gland weight (g) ×in tended activity) (MBq/g) /Max uptake] (% )× (1 + X/30) in which the X represented the sum of the parameters, and the administered activity increased or decreased by 1/30 when each of the parameters was prese..
