Concept explainers
(a)
To find:The absorbed dose
(a)
Answer to Problem 42P
Explanation of Solution
Given data:
Patient received dose, 1.0 rem
Since the RBE is 1, the effective dose (in rem) is the same as the absorbed dose (in rad).
Thus the absorbed dose is 1.0 rad or
Conclusion:
The absorbed dose is 1.0 rad or
(b)
To find:The number of proton absorbed by the tumor
(b)
Answer to Problem 42P
Explanation of Solution
Given data:
Energy of proton is
Mass of tumor is 0.25 kg
The absorbed dose is 1.0 rad or
The number of proton absorbed by the tumor is
Conclusion:
The number of proton absorbed by the tumor is
