An arm phantom for in vivo determination of Americium-241 in bone
Conference
·
OSTI ID:6720143
The focus of this research has been to construct a realistic arm phantom as a calibration tool in estimation of /sup 241/Am in the bone. The United States Transuranium Registry (USTR), through its program of whole body donations, continues to provide data on transuranic incorporation in man that would not otherwise be readily available (Norwood 1972; Breitenstein 1981; Swint, et al. 1985). This project uses well-characterized human bones loaned by the USTR for the construction of realistic phantoms for improvement of whole-body counter calibrations. 27 refs., 2 figs., 4 tabs.
