Radioisotopes and Cancer Detection. A radioisotope commonly used in the detection of breast cancer is technetium-99m. This radionuclide is attached to a chemical that upon injection into a patient accumulates at cancer sites. The isotope’s radiation is then detected and the site is located, using gamma cameras or other tomographic devices.
Technetium-99m decays radioactively in accordance with the equation\(\frac{{{\bf{dy}}}}{{{\bf{dt}}}}{\bf{ = - ky}}\) with k= 0.1155>h. The short half-life of technetium-99m has the advantage that its radioactivity does not endanger the patient. A disadvantage is that the isotope must be manufactured in a cyclotron. Since hospitals are not equipped with cyclotrons, doses of technetium-99m have to be ordered in advance from medical suppliers.
Suppose a dosage of 5 millicuries (mCi) of technetium- 99m is to be administered to a patient. Estimate the delivery time from production at the manufacturer to arrival at the hospital treatment room to be 24 hours and calculate the amount of the radionuclide that the hospital must order, to be able to administer the proper
dosage.
