Explain what is the dose recieved by the patient in rads

Reference no: EM13524238

A patient's thyroid gland is to be exposed to an average of 5.5 microcuries for 16 days as an ingested sample of iodine-131 decays. If the energy of the beta radiation is 9.7 x 10^-14 J and the mass of the thyroid is 32.0 g, what is the dose recieved by the patient in rads?
