Question

Jack underwent radiation therapy using a beam of neutrons to treat a skin cancer on his hand. He received a dose equivalent of 16 mSv that was absorbed in 25 g of tissue. The relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of these neutrons is 12.

What absorbed dose of radiation did Jack receive? What was the total energy of the absorbed radiation? Suppose Jill, also being treated for skin cancer, received the same absorbed dose, but from an electron beam (beta particles) with an RBE of 1.1. What dose equivalent did she receive?

A 75 kg patient swallows a 33 μCi beta emitter whose half-life is 5.0 days and whose RBE is 1.6. The beta particles are emitted with an average energy of 0.35 MeV, 90% of which is absorbed by the body. You are a health care worker needing to find the patient's dose equivalent after one week. These series of steps will help you find that dose equivalent. In all questions, assume the radioactive nuclei are distributed throughout the patient's body and are not being excreted.
