Re: HELP!!

Sometimes the vendor supplies a simple chart of fetal dose per mCi vs

gestational age.  If thats not available, check out this excellent link

You will need to know the particular flavor of Tc99m.  The bottom line

is that for Tc99m diagnostic studies the patient should be assured that

the dose is not significant.
