| dc.description | When determining the total body content of many elements by neutron activation analysis, irradiation and whole body counting by scanning along the length of the body has significant advantages. A simple theoretical model for scanned irradiation and counting is described. The model is used to show that a scanning regime in which both scanning directions are used (two-way scanning) can provide acceptably uniform response for elements having induced activities of a wide range of half-life. This is supported by measurements made using an existing scanning facility for total body in vivo neutron activation analysis. The two-way scanning regime offers the advantages of increased patient comfort, simpler operation and more efficient use of the time available for counting induced activity. |
