A study of MDL improvement for the in vivo measurement of lead in bone
Abstract
109Cd induced K XRF has been used for in vivo lead measurement for about two decades. Recently, the need for improvement of this system has been emphasized due to an increased understanding of low-level lead exposure. The conventional XRF bone-lead measurement system includes a 25 mm radius HPGe detector and one set of electronics. In this work, a cloverleaf detector system is investigated. This system consists of four 8 mm radius detectors and …
