Question

Radioactive iodine (I-131) can be used to treat hyperthyroidism in adults. The recommended maximum activity (dosage) for the treatment is 10 mCi. Determine the value of this radiation in disintegrations per second and in becquerels.

Accepted Answer

3.7×10⁸ dis/s = 3.7×10⁸ Bq

Answer

3.7×10¹⁴ dis/s = 3.7×10¹⁴ Bq

Answer

7.3×10⁸ dis/s = 7.3×10⁸ Bq

Answer

7.3×10^–12 dis/s = 7.3×10^–12 Bq
