Technetium Dosage. Radioactive isotopes are often used for medical imaging. Technetium-99m (Tc-99m) is a particularly popular isotope since it has a short half-life and is easy to make. Also, Tc-99m can be chemically bonded to a number of different compounds and cell types for imaging different parts of the body. Tc-99m has a half-life of 6.02 hours. It decays into Tc-99 by emitting a gamma ray of energy 140 keV. For this problem, assume that Tc-99m is present in the...

1 GBq of a 99mTc tagged colloid is injected into a patient to visualize the liver, the mass of the liver is 2.0 kg. around 4% of the injected activity is deposited in the liver. The biological half life of 99mTc in the liver is 3 days whereas its radiological half-life is 6 hours. Assuming all of the 99mTc decays by 141 KeV photon emission. Calculate the committed absorbed dose and the committed equivalent dose to the liver. and what...

1. The dosage of technetium-99m for a lung scan is 20. μCi /kg of body mass. How many millicuries of technetium-99m should be given to a 54 kg person? (Recall that 1 mCi = 1000 μCi.) Express the radiation dose in millicuries to two significant figures. 2. Suppose a person absorbed 46 mrad of alpha radiation. What would be the equivalent dose in millirems? Express the biological damage in millirems to two significant figures. 3. Carbon-14 has a half-life of...

3. A patient is administered 111 MBq (3 mCi) of 131 as a treatment for Graves' disease. Uptake studies show that the thyroid rapidly absorbs 60% of the administered dosage. The biological and radiological half-life of 131I is 2 days and 8.01 days, respectively. The average energy per transformation of 131I is 0.230 MeV/transformation. Assuming that the uptake of 131I in the thyroid is very rapid (i.e., instantaneous), calculate the initial dose rate and the total dose (commitment) to the...
