Optimization of an in vivo X-ray fluorescence mercury measurement system
Abstract
A non-invasive in vivo X-ray fluorescence (XRF) method of measuring renal mercury concentrations has previously been reported, as a potential occupational monitoring tool for those who work with this toxic element [Phys. Med. Biol. 40 (1995) 413]. However, the detection limits remain high compared to the typical values anticipated in these populations. Our approach for further enhancing the XRF renal mercury detection limit has been threefold: …
