Temporary Personal Radioactivity
Myers, Fred
Physics Teacher, v50 n8 p499-500 Nov 2012
As part of a bone scan procedure to look for the spread of prostate cancer, I was injected with radioactive technetium. In an effort to occupy/distract my mind, I used a Geiger counter to determine if the radioactive count obeyed the inverse-square law as a sensor was moved away from my bladder by incremental distances. (Contains 1 table and 2 figures.)
