Decay factors for 99m Technetium(assuming T 1/2 = 6.0 hours)0:00 00:15 00:30 00:451.0 0.891 0.866 0.841 0.8172.0 0.794 0.771 0.749 0.7283.0 0.707 0.687 0.667 0.6484.0 0.630 0.612 0.595 0.57837) Using Table 2.1b, determine the decay factor for 99m Tcat 7 hours.a. 1.337b. 0.445c. 0.432d. 0.55138) On a Monday morning at 6:00 a.m., a technologist ispreparing a 99m Tc ECD kit that is to be used for theSPECT brain scans at 8:00 a.m., 9:00 a.m. and10:00 a.m. Each patient should receive 10 mCi. What isthe minimum activity that should be added to the kitduring preparation? Use Table 2.1a if necessary.a. 42.6 mCib. 30.0 mCic. 44.5 mCid. 52.0 mCi39) A chromatography strip is used to test a kit for radiochemicalimpurity and is counted in a well counter. PartA contains 99m Tc pertechnetate, and Part B containsbound 99m Tc in the desired form. If the results show258,000 cpm in Part B, and 55,000 cpm in Part A, can thiskit be used for injection into patients?a. yesb. no
