Question

For an 15o PET scan,if an initial dose of 0.4 mCi is injected, calculate the total number of y-rays that are produced over a scan time of three minutes, assuming that scanning starts immediately after injection. Hint: Keep in mind that the question is about PET,not SPECT

Step 1

1 mCi = 37 MBq (MegaBecquerels) 0.4 mCi = 0.4 * 37 MBq = 14.8 MBq Show more…
