Energy dependence of the effective soft tissue thickness
Creators
Description
The concept of effective soft tissue thickness (ESTT) was proposed as a method for the calibration of lung counting systems for the detection of plutonium in vivo. Since the definition of ESTT was based on experiments following the inhalation of 103Pd, which emits 20.2- and 22-keV x rays, there is a question about the applicability of ESTT to plutonium, whose principal x-ray emission is at 17 keV. Thus, the energy dependence of ESTT was investigated
