At 1430 CDT, the RSO from Nebraska Methodist Hospital called to report a possible overexposure to a patient who had received a prostate treatment of implanted lodine-125 seeds. The RSO, who was also the Medical Physicist on the case, stated that he had mistakenly used the millicurie value for the air kerma value. The treatment dose was intended to be 145 Gray (14,500 rad) but the implant dose was calculated to be 178 Gray (17,800 rad) so the dose differentiated by 27 percent. It is unknown if the target organ (rectum) will exceed 50 rem. | At 1430 CDT, the RSO from Nebraska Methodist Hospital called to report a possible overexposure to a patient who had received a prostate treatment of implanted lodine-125 seeds.
