Radiation exposure question-or radiocats?
My cat Binhex received a dose of I-131 of 3.5 mCi (millicuries) on Monday for hyperthyroidism (she's doing fine, thank you).
Today she was released from the radiotherapy clinic with a radiation reading of 0.4 millirads. Since rads are an obsolete unit of radiation measurement, I converted to Grays. Currently, her emitted radiation is 0.000004 Gy.
How many radioactive cats would you need to be equivalent to one chest x-ray (in Grays)?
Ten points to the best answer!

The typical chest x-ray dose is 0.25 mRads,
according to http://chestx-ray.com/genpublic/genpubl.html.
So ChestRad/CatRad = ChestGr/CatGr = 0,25/0,4 =6,25 cats
(LOL) or 625 cats for 100 people.

confident, it may ensue in case you're taking the pill. this is annoying and in case you're donning a shirt without bra, this is totally embarrassing! i beg you to touch your wellness practitioner and communicate changing your prescription... ASAP! in case you're no longer on the pill and not sexually lively and there is no hazard which you would be pregnant, it particularly isn't everyday. Please go see your loved ones wellness practitioner as quickly as achieveable. Blood checks would be executed to be certain your hormone stages are everyday and a mammogram could be ordered to be sure if there is a few thing occurring interior your breast. wish this enables and robust luck sweetie!
