ABSTRACT
The distribution and effective half-life of Sodium Iodohippurate 131I has been studied in both rats and cats. These data have been extrapolated to man to estimate the radiation dose delivered during diagnostic use for determination of renal function. Radiation dosage calculations indicate that the radiation hazard from a 30 µc dose of Sodium Iodohippurate 131I would seem to be minimal, and that this dose would deliver less radiation than suggested weekly exposure limits to radiation workers.
