Background: The aim was to assess, in vitro, the effects of radioiodine-131 (I-131) on the structure of titanium implants.
Material And Methods: A total of 28 titanium implants were divided into 7 groups ( = 4) and irradiated at 0, 6, 12, 24, 48, 192 and 384 hours. At the end of the experiment, each sample was investigated via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electrochemical measures.
Results: The control sample revealed a smooth and compact surface. The small micro-sized porosity is slightly visible at the macroscopic level, but the precise details cannot be observed. A mild exposure to the radioactive solution for 6 to 24 h showed a good preservation of the macro-structural aspects such as thread details and surface quality. Significant changes occurred after 48 h of exposure. It was noticed that the open-circuit potential (OCP) value of the non-irradiated implants move toward more noble potentials during the first 40 min of exposure to the artificial saliva and then stabilizes at a constant value of -143 mV. A displacement of the OCP values toward more negative values was observed for all irradiated implants; these potential shifts are decreasing, as the irradiation period of the tested implants increased.
Conclusion: After exposure to I-131, the structure of titanium implants is well preserved up to 12 h. The eroded particles start to appear in the microstructural details after 24 h of exposure and their numbers progressively increase up to 384 h after exposure.

Safety and toxicity of Iopofosine I 131 (CLR 131) with external beam radiation therapy in recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer: results of a phase 1 single-centre, open-label, single-arm, dose escalation and dose expansion study.

Background: Re-irradiation of recurrent head and neck cancer (HNC) is often limited by tumour adherence to critical structures and/or radiation tolerance of critical normal tissues. Iopofosine I 131 (CLR 131) is a targeted small molecular phospholipid ether (PLE) drug conjugate that delivers iodine-131 selectively to tumour cells. We conducted a phase 1, single-centre, open-label study to determine whether CLR 131 given with reduced dose of external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) would be tolerable and feasible.

Article Synopsis
- High-dose radioiodine ablation (RAI) therapy requires patients to be isolated due to the large amounts of radioactive waste produced, which must be stored until it is safe to discharge.
- This study explores using graphene oxide silver (GOAg) and bamboo activated carbon (BAC) as alternative materials to effectively extract I-131 from this clinical radioactive wastewater.
- Various scientific analyses (FESEM, XPS, FTIR, XRD) were conducted on the synthesized adsorbents, revealing their structural properties and helping determine their effectiveness in removing radioactive substances.
The Impact of Dual and Triple Energy Window Scatter Correction on I-123 Postsurgical Thyroid SPECT/CT Imaging Using a Phantom with Small Sizes of Thyroid Remnants.

Department of Mechanical Engineering, Frederick University, Nicosia 1036, Cyprus.
I-123 is preferential over I-131 for diagnostic SPECT imaging after a thyroidectomy to determine the presence and size of residual thyroid tissue for radioiodine ablation. Scattering degrades the quality of I-123 SPECT images, primarily due to the penetration of high-energy photons into the main photopeak. The objective of this study was to quantitatively and qualitatively investigate the impact of two widely used window-based scatter correction techniques, the dual energy window (DEW) and triple energy window (TEW) techniques, in I-123 postsurgical SPECT/CT thyroid imaging using an anthropomorphic phantom with small sizes of remnants and anatomically correct surrounding structures.
