Extension of Fong and Alvarez: When is a lower limit of detection low enough?
Journal Article
·
· Health Physics
The work of Fong and Alvarez is easily extended for counting when varied counting is not employed. It remains true in the general case that the precision of a counting method can be no less than about 30% at the LLD and so it is desirable to have decision levels at least several times larger than the LLD so that measurements have sufficient precision to make valid decisions.
