In vivo investigation of a new 109Cd γ-ray induced K-XRF bone lead measurement system
Abstract
A new 109Cd gamma-ray induced K-XRF bone lead measurement system using an array of four detectors has been developed. Previous results from Monte Carlo (MC) simulations and experiments with phantoms predicted that it would be about three times more sensitive than the conventional system, albeit using a more active source. A dosimetry study has been performed for this system and it demonstrated that the dose delivered to the measured individuals …
