A radioactive isotope, selenium (75Se), used in the creation of medical images of the pancreas, has a half-life of 119.77 days.
\n" ); document.write( " If 250 milligrams are given to a patient, how many milligrams, A, are left after 34 days?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Use the radioactive decay formula; A = Ao*2(-t/h), where:
\n" ); document.write( "A = Amt remaining after t time
\n" ); document.write( "Ao = Initial amt (250 ml)
\n" ); document.write( "t = time of decay (34 days)
\n" ); document.write( "h = half-life of substance (119.77 days)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "A = 250*2^(-34/119.77)
\n" ); document.write( "Using a calc
\n" ); document.write( "A = 250 * .82138
\n" ); document.write( "A = 205.345 ml after 34 days \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
