m A patient is being given a chest X-ray. The X-ray beam
Chapter , Problem 55(choose chapter or problem)
m A patient is being given a chest X-ray. The X-ray beam is turned on for 0.20 s, and its intensity is 0.40 W/m2 . The area of the chest being exposed is 0.072 m2 , and the radiation is absorbed by 3.6 kg of tissue. The relative biological eff ectiveness (RBE) of the X-ray for this tissue is 1.1. Concepts: (i) How is the power of the beam related to the * beam intensity? (ii) How is the energy absorbed by the tissue related to the power of the beam? (iii) What is the absorbed dose? (iv) How is the biologically equivalent dose related to the absorbed dose? Calculation: Calculate the biologically equivalent dose received by the patient.
