Need Info on Dose due to Medical Uptake Study

["Sewell, Linda" <LMS1@pge.com>]

Hi All,

One of our workers told me he received a lung scan yesterday.  He says he
was given approximately 12 mCi of Xe-133 and 4 mCi of Tc-99m.  I know for
these types of uptakes the effective half-lives are quite short.  Anybody
out there know what the approximate dose is to the lung and the total body?

Thanks

Linda
