Factors affecting in vivo measurement precision and accuracy of 109Cd K x-ray fluorescence measurements
Abstract
109Cd K x-ray fluorescence (XRF) measurement systems from two research centres were used to measure tibia lead content in a population (n = 530) of young adults. The group mean bone lead contents (+/-SEM) determined by McMaster University (n = 214) and the University of Maryland (n = 316) were 2.80 +/- 0.51 and 2.33 +/- 0.50 microg Pb/(g bone mineral) respectively. The mean difference of 0.47 +/- 0.71 microg Pb/(g bone mineral) was not …
