Abstract
The development of a dual-detector shadow-shield whole-body counting system of high sensitivity is described. The sensitivity and performance of the counter are analysed, with specific references to total body in vivo neutron activation analysis, and shown to be at least comparable with those of many conventional shielded-room counters.Keywords
