About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the difference in thyroid uptake of a low dose radioactive iodine (10 MBq 123-I or 37 MBq 123-I) in athyreotic patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma before and after a low iodine diet (LID) of 7 days.
The main question it aims to answer is:
• What is the difference in iodine uptake before and after a LID of 7 days?
Uptake of a low dose of 123-iodine will be measured in participants before and after a low iodine diet of 7 days. Researchers will compare the uptake (%) before and after the LID.
