Question

Radiation from Tl-201 to Simone's kidneys can be 24 mGy. What is this amount of radiation in rads?

Short answer

The amount of radiation in rads is $2.4$rads

Step-by-step solution

Given Information

Radiation from Tl-201 to Simone's kidneys = $24$mGy

Finding the amount of radiation in rads.

Explanation

Given radiation = $24\mathrm{mGy}$

Using,

$1\mathrm{rad}=10\mathrm{mGy}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1\mathrm{rad}}{10\mathrm{mGy}}\times 24\mathrm{mGy}=2.4\mathrm{rad}$

The amount of radiation in rads is $2.4$rads
