 | solve for quality factor |
unit conversion factors
 | equivalent dose - SI unit is rem (roentgen equivalent man) - US unit is sievert |
 | absorbed dose - SI unit is rad - US unit is gray |
 | total radioactivity - SI unit is becquerel - US unit is curie |
Where
| N | = | number of nuclei remaining after a time period |
| N0 | = | initial number of nuclei |
| Kb and KT | = | disintegration constant |
| t1/2 | = | half life time of radionuclide |
| Q | = | total radioactivity or source strength |
| N0 | = | Avogadro's number, 6.02 x 1023 atom/gram-atom |
| W | = | atomic weight |
