Abstract: The design and implementation of a mobile gamma spectrometry system to in vivo measure the accumulated activity of <superscript>131</superscript> I in whole body and thyroid of patients with thyroid diseases are presented in this work. This system may be used for both pre-therapeutic and post-therapeutic dosimetry calculations. It consists of a detector and a movable support that allows its movement from one place to another.<br /> (Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.)
