What is the half life of radioactive iodine?
The answer is simple it is 8 days for iodine-131 but it depends on what isotope you are talking about
When do you take potassium iodide?
Examples:- when a contamination with radioactive iodine-131 is possible- to treat hyperthyroidism- as food additive to balance the iodine content of the organism
Iodine 131 has a half life of 8 days. When will 10 lbs of iodine 131 not be radioactive anymore?
Never. As a simple exponential-decay problem, it can get as small as you want if you're willing to wait long enough, but it never reaches zero.
Is iodine in nuclear bombs?
No. However one of the fission products produced is Iodine-131 and it appears in the fallout. Iodine-131 is a dangerous beta and gamma emitter with a halflife of 8.05 days, it concentrates in the thyroid gland and can selectively kill it or cause cancers in it. Fortunately the halflife is only just over a week, because it then practically disappears in about 5 to 6 weeks. This allows Iodine-131 contaminated food and drink (e.g. fresh milk) to be stored and then safely used when the Iodine-131 has decayed. This also makes it possible to protect the thyroid gland by saturating it with ordinary Iodine (usually as potassium iodide pills) until the Iodine-131 has decayed.
What is the natural abundance for iodine-131?
it is made in stuff.
What is iodine-131?
Iodine-131 is a radioactive isotope of the element iodine.
What technology would be used in conjunction with the radioactive tracer iodine 131?
When conducting a thyroid scan, the patient needs to be given a dose of radioactive iodine by either swallowing or intravenously. During the scan, a gamma scintillation camera takes pictures of the thyroid gland from 3 different angles. The camera detects gamma ray emissions from the decay of the radioactive iodine. Thus the technology of the camera and the computer that generates the image of the thyroid gland are technologies used in conjunction with I-131
What is the medical radioactive product for iodine?
I-131.
What is iodone-131?
Iodine-131 (not iodone) is a radioactive isotope of iodine: this isotope has important applications in the treatment of thyroid diseases.
What is the half life of radioactive iodine?
The answer is simple it is 8 days for iodine-131 but it depends on what isotope you are talking about
Why is iodine-131 used to assess thyroid function?
Because the thyroid absorbs iodine from the blood stream, and since it is a radioactive isotope, it can be easily visualized, so you can see how strongly the thyroid is absorbing it.
When do you take potassium iodide?
Examples:- when a contamination with radioactive iodine-131 is possible- to treat hyperthyroidism- as food additive to balance the iodine content of the organism
How much of an 80-milligram sample of Iodine-131 would be left after 32 days?
Iodine 131 is radioactive and has a half life of about 8 days. After 32 days there would be approximately 5 milligrams remaining
A vial contains radioactive iodine-131 with an activity of 2.0mCi per millileter If the thyroid test requires 3.0 mCI in an atomic cocktail how many milliliters are used to prepare the iodine-131 so?
1 mm = 2.0 mCi So 1.5 mm = 3.0 mCi
What is the sample of the radioactive isotope 131I decays its half-life?
Iodine-131 has a half-life of about 8 days.
Can iodine 131 be used for high dose radiotherapy?
Iodine 131 is used for reducing the size of the thyroid Usually taken at x ray dept of hospital as a tablet
Iodine 131 has a half life of 8 days. When will 10 lbs of iodine 131 not be radioactive anymore?
Never. As a simple exponential-decay problem, it can get as small as you want if you're willing to wait long enough, but it never reaches zero.
