Re: Tc-99m Dose



See ICRP Pub 53, Annals of the ICRP, Radiation Dose to Patients from 
Radiopharmaceuticals.  Bone scans are done with phosphonates.  
Effective dose equivalent (mSv/MBq) for patient with normal bone 
uptake and normally functioning kidneys is given as 8.0E-03 mSv/MBq). 
Tc-99m doses for bone scans are about 25 mCi.
