Abstract

A system has been developed for measuring the amount of cadmium in the left kidney. The in-vivo technique utilises prompt γ-rays arising from neutron capture by113Cd. A plused neutron beam is produced by bombarding a beryllium target with 10 MeV protons. The sensitivity of the measurements has a limit of 3.25 mg (2SE) for a localised dose of 2.0 rem.
