Development And Assessment Of An X-Ray Fluorescence System For In Vivo Studies
X-ray fluorescence (XRF), which is a standard elemental analysis technique, was investigated for the purpose of measuring elements in vivo. An XRF system comprising of an excitation source, sample and a detection system in a 90° geometry was developed and optimized by simulations using the Monte Car...
