ThyRAD is a web-based tool designed to predict radioactive iodine (¹³¹I) decay in patients treated for differentiated thyroid carcinoma.
Main features:
- Calculate decay constants (λ) and half-life (t½)
- Generate decay tables and time-activity curves
- Estimate when a patient’s radiation exposure drops below a threshold (µSv/h).
- Compute the area under the curve (AUC)
(Further modules will be added).
