THE DETERMINATION OF GOLD IN BLOOD WITHOUT CHEMICAL SEPARATION BY THE USE OF NEUTRON ACTIVATION AND SCINTILLATION SPECTROMETRY
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4035529
Neutron activation studies of the blood are discussed. The quantities of various activities which would be produced in a sample of whole blood were computed. Tables ard graphs showing the-composition of a typical sample of whole blood along with the activities which would be induced by a two-hour irradiation in a neutron flux of lO/sup 13/, the gamma rays associated with the elements present in the blood, an example of gold analysis, the spectra of blood samples from an individual never treated with gold salt injections, and the results for the gold content of blood from patients who received gold therapy for rheumatoid arthritis are given. The data presented indicate that gold is readily determined in the blood only when the level is greater than 10 times that found in a normal individual. (M.C.G.)
