Question

Problem 30.52 Part A A patient receives a gamma scan of his liver. He ingests 3.7 MBq of 198 Au, which decays with a 2.7 day half-life by emitting a 1.4 MeV beta particle. Medical tests show that 60% of this isotope is absorbed and retained by the liver. All of the radioactive decay energy is deposited in the liver. What is the total dose equivalent received by the patient's 1.5 kg liver once all of the atoms have decayed?
