Problem 10.50. Iodine-126 has a half-life of 13.3 h. If a diagnostic dose is 10 nanograms (ng), how much is left after 2.5 days ... [Pg.201]

LEARNING CHECK 10.7 Iodine-123 is a radioisotope used to diagnose the function of the thyroid gland. It has a half-Ufe of 13.3 hours. What fraction of a diagnostic dose of iodine-123 would be present in a patient 79.8 hours (a little over 3 days) after it was administered ... [Pg.368]

A person with a hyperactive thyroid will have a higher than normal level of radioactive iodine, whereas a person with a hypoactive thyroid will have lower values. If a person has hyperthyroidism, treatment is begun to lower the activity of the thyroid. One treatment involves giving a therapeutic dosage of radioactive iodine, which has a higher radiation level than the diagnostic dose. The radioactive iodine goes to the... [Pg.579]
