This is defined as the energy imparted to a defined mass of tissue. Introduction of radioactive materials into the body for measurements of organ function from the detection of radioactive emissions.
Chapter 7 Nuclear Chemistry Che 105 110 Introduction To
The measurement of emissions from radioactive material in the body is. Emissivity essentially compares the thermal radiation of a material to that of a perfect emitter a black body this black body has an emissivity of 10 and is used as the reference point for the perfect emitter. A black body is an object that completely absorbs any electromagnetic radiation that falls on it across all wavelengths. Radiation can be measured using sensitive detectors in a whole body counter. It can have a value between 0 and 1 and it can be dependent on the optical frequency or wavelength also on the direction of incidence and the polarization of light. These detectors can measure the gamma rays emitted by radioactive materials that are in or on the body. An average person receives an effective dose of 036 rem every year 80 percent of which comes from natural sources of radiation such as radioactive materials in the earths crust and mantle and.
Different units of measure are used depending on what aspect of radiation is being measured. The measurement of hearing and related functions. There are no true ie ideal black bodies in nature. Different radioactive materials will give off gamma rays of different energies which is one technique to identify the material. Introduction of radioactive materials into the body for the study of distribution and fate of certain substances by the detection of radioactive emissions. Placing your body near a radioactive source results in exposure.
To evaluate the hazard from this exposure one must compute the absorbed dose. Therefore in emissivity measurement a black body furnace is used as a body whose properties approach those of an ideal black body. The root type used in the nuclear medicine section which involves the introduction of radioactive materials into the body for measurements of organ function from the detection of radioactive emissions. Introduction of radioactive materials into the body for single plane display of images developed from the capture of radioactive emissions is known as. A radioactive substance can be selectively taken up by different organs or tissue. The emissivity of an object or a surface is a measure for how strongly it interacts with thermal radiation in terms of emission and absorption.
That is the black body emits the full spectrum of infrared radiant energy when measured. For example the amount of radiation being given off or emitted by a radioactive material is measured using the conventional unit curie ci named for the famed scientist marie curie or the si unit becquerel bq. Section the first character of the icd 10 pcs code always specifies the which is the general type of procedure performed. Dose is generally not uniform over the body.
