The volume needed for a 68 kg patient under given conditions needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

• The activity of a radioactive sample is defined as the average number of disintegrations per second.
• The unit of activity of a radioactive sample is Curie (Ci).
• $1mCi{\text{ =10}}^{-3}Ci=3.7\times {10}^7\text{dps}$
• 1 mCi = 1000 μCi
