In Positron Emission Tomography PET) Scans, a Very Small Amount

In positron emission tomography PET) scans, a very small amount of a radioactive drug is given to a patient. Fluorine-18 doped or labeled fluorodeoxyglucose, also called FDG, is a radioactive version of the sugar glucose with a half-life of 110 minutes. Once injected into the body, it will go to places where glucose is used for energy. For example, FDG will go to the brain, and, in particular, to those parts of the brain that are actively burning glucose for energy. A variety of different images are observed depending on the parts of the brain being used in certain tasks, such as reading or listening. If the patient came back at the same time the next day after their initial injection for a further scan, how much of the original fluorine-18 decay rate would remain?

A) zero
B) 1.15 × 10^-2 %
C) 3.53 × 10^-2 %
D) 5.41 × 10^-2 %
E) 5.41 × 10^-4 %
