Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does radioiodine Therapy Change the Atherosclerotic Burden of the Carotid Arteries?
Answer: No early changes in CIMT were detected in patients treated with radioactive iodine for benign thyroid disease. No signs of late effects of radioactive iodine on CIMT or plaque presence were found after 10 years of follow-up. The radiation to the carotid arteries by radioactive iodine therapy for benign thyroid disease may therefore have no or low effect on atherosclerotic burden of the carotid arteries in general.
Output (English): no
