A Monte Carlo program has been written to model the in vivo X-ray fluorescence of lead in the kidney, to aid the choice of one of four candidate fluorescing source/measurement geometry combinations: <sup>109</sup>Cd/180', <sup>57</sup>Co/90' and <sup>99</sup>Tc<sup>m</sup> at both 180' and 90'. Computational studies and practical considerations led to the choice of <sup>99</sup>Tc<sup>m</sup> in a backscatter geometry for the measurement system.
