Summary

This study is testing a special collar worn around the neck that measures how the body processes radioactive iodine used to treat thyroid cancer and Graves disease. The goal is to see if this device can give doctors better information to personalize the dose for each patient, potentially reducing side effects and the need for multiple clinic visits. Ten adults with these thyroid conditions will wear the collar for up to a week while their radiation levels are tracked.
