With the I-131 dose of 220 μCi/g of thyroid tissue, successful treatment rate after single dose of therapeutic I-131 was 65.63%. RAI therapy with I-131 dose of 250-400 μCi/g of thyroid tissue might be suitable in patients with medical failure from ATDs. Possible role of RI as the predictor for RAI therapy failure are needed to investigate in both adult and children clinical settings.
