In vivo activation analysis of spinal calcium using 25 keV neutrons Journal Articles

abstract

• The applicability of 25 keV neutrons to the in vivo activation analysis of spinal calcium is examined both theoretically and experimentally. It is shown that the use of this energy results in an increase in sensitivity over higher energy neutrons so that patient dose may be significantly reduced.
