Total activities due to the ingestion of 131I were evaluated in different compartments of the human body of patients. It has been shown that the 131I activity in urine of patients increases when the 131I uptake decreases which could represent a source of radiation for their relatives when they leave hospitals. A new dosimetric model based on the specific beta-dose concept was developed for evaluating committed equivalent doses to thyroid due to 131I uptake by different age groups of patients. Data obtained are in good agreement with those obtained by using the ICRP model for iodine. Committed equivalent dose to the thyroid gland is influenced by the mass of thyroid, 131I uptake and energy of the emitted beta particles. In addition, 131I uptake was measured by using a gamma camera and committed equivalent doses to the thyroid gland of female patients from the ingestion of 131I for the treatment of hyperthyroidism diseases were evaluated. Data obtained by using our model and the ICRP ingestion dose coefficients are in good agreement with each other.
