PATIENT RECEIVED THE WRONG RADIONUCLIDE DURING TREATMENT
A patient was set to receive an I-123 scan and uptake procedure on 12/15/20. Due to an error in scheduling the patient incorrectly underwent an I-131 therapy procedure instead. The I-131 therapy procedure delivered 15.8 mCi to the patient's thyroid where an I-123 scan and uptake procedure would have only delivered microCuries to the patient's thyroid.
A Medical Event may indicate potential problems in a medical facility's use of radioactive materials. It does not necessarily result in harm to the patient.
