A patient underwent a nuclearstress test and received a total injection of 30 mCi of Tc-99m drugfor diagnostic CT scan. Please work out the following: (a) show theformula and the necessary parameters with values for the internaldose estimation due to Tc-99m, (b) give a rough estimate as to howmuch (%) of photon energy is absorbed by the patient, and (c)calculate the total absorbed doses (in rad) and the effective dose(in rem) to the patient for the entire procedure. Assume Tc-99m isdistributed uniformly throughout the body and the patient weighed70 Kg.
