How is the amount of radioactivity decided for this application? What is the
mass of tissue is irradiated?
How are the doses to the areas of interest calculated and what are the resulting
values. What is the critical area of tissue considered for the dose
determination and how is that determined? Is it 1 cubic centimeter?
