Description

The trace element analysis of twenty-one human gallstone samples from eastern (Orissa) region has been carried out by using the 3 MV tandem type horizontal pelletron accelerator facility at Institute of Physics, Bhubaneswar, India with proton beam of energy 3 MeV. In the present investigation, twenty one trace elements like S, Cl, K, Ca, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Br, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Mo and Pb have been estimated in these three types of gallstones viz. cholesterol stone, mixed stone and pigment stone. The Current Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) study is of its first kind in this eastern region of India. (author)
