What kind of treatment? If you went in for radiation treatment and the source was external (meaning you were positioned and the source was set up and/or moved around you), the radiation passes into you and then it's gone. You don't walk out "radioactive" after this kind of treatment. (Proton treatment is slightly different.) The same idea applies to "seeds" of radioisotopes put in the body up next to the tissue to be treated. When removed, the radiation goes with them. If you have been given radiation treatment by virtue of oral or intravenous preparations, the time interval will vary as the dose and the particular isotope you were given. The different radioisotopes behave differently. With a bit more information, a bit less general an answer may have been able to have been supplied.
There are different types of radiation and many may stay in the body longer than others. However, radiation such as x-rays as well as some forms of radiation from treatments like proton or chemotherapy remain in the body a very short time. Radioactivity, however, decreases slowly over time.
The radiation stops as soon as they turn the X-ray machine off. It is only activated in short bursts, like a photographic flash. It does not store up in your body like a towel being squirted with water.
MRIs do not use radiation. They simply set up an electromagnetic field around the patient or object, hen introduce changes to this field and detect how the body reacts. So, there is never any radiation to begin with.
The radiation does not "last" in your body after a chest x-ray.
For ever
how long will it stay in my body
The patient must stay still during the administration of the radiation so that no other parts of the body are affected
Boniva is a medication that is prescribed for the treatment of osteoporosis. This medication can stay in the human body for many years after taking the last dose.
i think around 2 weeks but its safe to stay at an arms length after the firt 5-7 days but not with children probably
How long does oxalic acid stay in the body
how long does codeine stay in system
Not as long as it will stay in short fine hair, but it will stay for awhile.
1day
forever
72 hours
