Development of an irradiation/shielding cavity for in vivo neutron activation analysis of manganese in human bone
Abstract
Manganese is essential to human life for normal neurological and skeletal functions. Longstanding, excessive exposure to Mn compounds may result in manganism, a Parkinson's disease like syndrome. Prolonged exposure to Mn at low levels can result in memory deficit, loss of motor control and reduction in the refinement of certain bodily motions. A feasibility study of measuring Mn concentrations in human bone with in vivo neutron activation …
