First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a special collar worn around the neck that measures radiation exposure in people with thyroid cancer or Graves' disease receiving radioactive iodine therapy. The goal is to see if this device gives more accurate dosing information than current methods, potentially reducing the need for multiple clinic visits. Ten participants will wear the collar for up to 7 days while their radiation levels are tracked.
