Some Applications of Si(Li) Detectors to Clinical Problems

Abstract

The replacement of conventional clinical techniques and the development of new techniques using solid state detectors are discussed. Work presented here includes a simplified (geometry and counting-time independent) method for in-vitro iodine and bromine determinations, in-vivo iodine measurements through a tissue absorption correction based on the ratio of. Kα to Kβ radiation, cardiac output studies, and evaluation of absorptive characteristics of cerebral ventricles.
