“…It was found that most patients with thyrotoxicosis excreted less iodine than normal subjects and this method (the iodine tolerance test) became frequently used before the production of radioactive iodide. In 1938, Hertz et al [2] described the possibility of radioactive isotope technique into the study of thyroid physiology and the investigations concerning thyroid diseases and iodide metabolism were enormously increased. Soon after 131 I became available from Oak Ridge in 1946 [3], the first treatments were carried out by Chapman et al [4] and Hertz et al [5].…”

“…Utilizando uma versão modificada da câmara de Wilson eles determinaram o tempo de circulação braço a braço em pacientes [1,14]. Em 1938, foi realizado o estudo da função da tireóide com o uso do 121I, por Hertz, Roberts e Evans, marcando assim o início da utilização sistemática dos radionuclídeos na medicina [15]. Em 1956, foi criado no Brasil o Instituto de Energia Atômica (IEA), hoje chamado de Instituto de Pesquisas Energéticas e Nucleares (IPEN), órgão este gerenciado técnica, administrativa e financeiramente pela Comissão Nacional de Energia Nuclear (CNEN) e associado para fins de ensino de pós-graduação à Universidade de São Paulo (USP).…”

“…Hertz et al in 1938 described the first study of thyroidal radioiodine uptake [7], and in 1942 Hertz and Roberts reported on the treatment of the first patients with Graves' disease with radioiodine [8]. A short time later Seidlin et al treated the first patient with metastatic thyroid cancer with radioiodine [9] -at the time this compound was so rare that radioiodine was purified from the patient's urine and readministered.…”
