Evaluating a New Device for Personalized Thyroid Disorder Treatment

NCT03517579 · Recruiting
About this trial

This trial is studying a new device called the Collar Therapy Indicator (CoTI) to help improve radioiodine treatment for thyroid disorders, including thyroid cancer and Graves' disease. The CoTI measures radiation exposure continuously, which may give doctors better information than traditional methods. The goal is to personalize treatment to help patients achieve better results while reducing unnecessary visits to the clinic.
