MCis

There are two procedures for doing this. The first makes use of a metal probe coated with an emitter such as polonium or Am (around 1 mCi) and placed above the surface. The resulting air ionization makes the gap between the probe and the liquid sufficiently conducting that the potential difference can be measured by means of a high-impedance dc voltmeter that serves as a null indicator in a standard potentiometer circuit. A submerged reference electrode may be a silver-silver chloride electrode. One generally compares the potential of the film-covered surface with that of the film-free one [83, 84].

This equation tells us that the i-th eolumn of a matrix, M, eontains the result of operating on the i-th unit veetor Ci with the matrix. More speeifieally, the element Mki in the k-th row and i-th eolumn is the eomponent of Mci in the direetion of the Ck unit veetor. As a generalization, we ean eonstruet any matrix by first deeiding how the matrix affeets the elementary unit veetors and then plaeing the resulting veetors as the eolumns of the matrix.

Plutonium solutions that have a low activity (<3.7 x 10 Bq (1 mCi) or 10 mg of Pu) and that do not produce aerosols can be handled safely by a trained radiochemist in a laboratory fume hood with face velocity 125—150 linear feet per minute (38—45 m/min). Larger amounts of solutions, solutions that may produce aerosols, and plutonium compounds that are not air-sensitive are handled in glove boxes that ate maintained at a slight negative pressure, ca 0.1 kPa (0.001 atm, more precisely measured as 1.0—1.2 cm (0.35—0.50 in.) differential pressure on a water column) with respect to the surrounding laboratory pressure (176,179—181). This air is exhausted through high efficiency particulate (HEPA) filters. 

Technetium-9 9m sestamibi is used in myocardial perfusion imaging for the evaluation of ischemic heart disease. It is prepared from a lyophilized kit containing tetrakis(2-methoxy isobutyl isonittile) copper(I) tetrafluoroborate stored under nitrogen. Upon reconstitution with up to 5.6 GBq (150 mCi) of 99mTc pertechnetate, the product is formed by boiling for 10 minutes. 

Technetium-99m disofenin is used for hepatobiliary imaging. Disofenin (2,6-diisopropylphenylcarbamoyhnethyliminodiacetic acid) is the active ingredient. Product formation is accompHshed by addition of up to 3.7 GBq (100 mCi) of Tc pertechnetate. 

Technetium-99m albumin coUoid is cleared by the reticuloendothehal (RE) cells and is used for visualization of the RE system of the Hver, spleen, and bone marrow. The product is formed by the addition of up to 2.8 GBq (75 mCi) of Tc pertechnetate. 

Technetium-99m pyrophosphate is used for bone imaging. The compound appears to have an affinity for the hydroxyapatite crystals within bone, and is formed by addition of up to 7.4 GBq (200 mCi) pertechnetate. 

Technetium-99m mertiatide (A/-[Ai-[A/-[(benzoylthio)acetyl]glycyl]glycine) is a renal imaging agent. It is excreted by the kidneys via active tubular secretion and glomerular filtration. The kit vial is reconstituted by using 740—3700 MBq (20—100 mCi) of Tc pertechnetate and boiling for 10 minutes. 

The body excretes tritium with a biological half-life of 8—14 d (10.5 d average) (75), which can be reduced significantly with forced fluid intake. For humans, the estimated maximum permissible total body burden is 37 MBq (1 mCi). The median lethal dose (LD q) of tritium assimilated by the body is estimated to be 370 GBq (10 Ci). Higher doses can be tolerated with forced fluid intake to reduce the biological half-life.

A beta attenuation sampler uses a 30-mCi Krypton-85 source (with energy of 0.74 MeV) and detector to determinate the attenuation caused by deposited aerosols on a moving filter. lb improve the stability over time, a refiertticc reading is period-icallv made of a foil with attenuation similar to that of the Alter and collected aerosol. 

Although the generic equation (26) remains the same for the case with initiator too, that for the active monomers is different Cy = -k Mcy + c - All other Eqs. (26) retain their form, provided Cy is replaced there by the concentration of inert monomers, M.
