Abstract
The irregular shape of the human body and the non-uniformity of distribution of elements within the body makes absolute quantitation using in-vivo neutron activation relatively difficult. However, if the mass of an element can be assessed with reasonable accuracy, then a single measurement of a patient could reveal how far body content varied from normal. The determination of total body calcium is of importance in the study of bone disease. We have assessed the accuracy of measuring this quantity by varying the size of phantoms used for calibration and the distribution of element within these phantoms.
