The equation for the retention curve as a function of time and the plot of the retention data.
Answer to Problem 6.19P
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The below data has been given to plot the graph.
Formula used:
Calculation:
The plot of retention data.
The slope of the line.
The half-time for this short-lived component is 1.1 days, and the slope is 0.69311.1 days = 0.63 per day. The equation for the short-lived component is:
Day | Total | Long lived | Short lived |
0 | 4 | 2.2 | 1.8 |
1 | 2.94 | 1.97 | 0.97 |
2 | 2.32 | 1.77 | 0.55 |
3 | 1.9 | 1.58 | 0.32 |
4 | 1.6 | 1.42 | 0.18 |
5 | 1.4 | 1.27 | 0.13 |

Assume that 15% of their bone is scanned, 20% of their skin, 90% of their colon, 25% of their bladder and 10% of their lungs but none of their liver, stomach, and gonads. A further 20% of tissue characterised as 'remainder of the body' is also exposed during the scan. The tissue weighting factors for various organs is listed in the table below: Tissue weighting Tissue Tissue weighting factor factor skin 0.01 oesophagus 0.04 bone marrow 0.12 bladder 0.04 bone surface 0.01 breast 0.12 brain 0.01 gonads 0.08 0.12 thyroid 0.04 0.04 salivary glands 0.01 remainder of body 0.12 stomach 0.12 colon 0.12 Tissue lung liver What is the overall effective dose received by the patient from the CT scan?arrow_forwardEstimate the exposure rate 2 m from 4 Ci sources of 57Co,22Na,65Zn?Exposure Rate constant for 57Co=0.9 (R.cm2) / (hr.mCi)Exposure Rate constant for 22Na =12 (R.cm2) / (hr.mCi)Exposure Rate constant for 65Zn =2.7 (R.cm2) / (hr.mCi)arrow_forward
