In preparation for a PET scan, a 75 kg patient is injected with fludeoxyglucose, a special type of glucose containing radioactive Fluorine-18 (18F). The injected solution contains 2.6 mCi of 18F, which has a half life of 109.8 minutes. Each radioactive particle has a mean energy of 249.8 keV, 90% of which is absorbed by the patient’s body. (1 mCi= 3.7*107 Bq.) a) Draw a graph showing the activity of the solution as a function of time. Label the half...
1. The half-life of an isotope of phosphorus is 14.2 days. If a sample contains 3.96e16 such nuclei, determine its activity.? 2. A 234-mCi sample of a radioactive isotope is purchased by a medical supply house. If the sample has a half-life of 17.4 days, how long will it keep before its activity is reduced to 28.9 mCi?
The half-life of 18F is 109.7 minutes. If radiolabeled Prozac were administered to a patient for a PET scan at 8:00 A.M.on Monday, at what time would its activity reach 10% of the original activity?
