| dc.description | The measurement of Pb in bone by X-ray fluorescence using <sup>109</sup>Cd gamma -ray to excite K-shell X-rays is considered. Improvements to the basic system performance were made by changing the design of the source collimator and by including data from the Pb K beta <sub>1,3</sub> photopeaks, having used pile-up rejection to reduce background in their region of the spectrum. The summed variances for eight sample measurements are given: two each of four plaster-of-Paris phantoms embedded in wax. |
