Abstract
AUTORADIOGRAPHIC investigations of cytological material from aspiration biopsy of goitre using iodine-131 have previously been reported by Schmidt et al.1. Recently, iodine-125 has been introduced into autoradiography, and this makes possible more exact localization of radioactive material because of its soft β-radiation. We have therefore used iodine-125 for an autoradiographic study of cytological material from fine needle biopsies of the human thyroid.
