Description

Phoswich based lung monitor enabled with the feature of high energy photon measurement is effectively utilised to measure body potassium of radiation workers reported for lung monitoring at RSD, IGCAR. The Phoswich systems, kept inside the low background steel room in an optimum counting geometry, has resulted in a higher efficiency value and lesser MDA for 40K compared to whole body counters (4 inch x 3 inch NaI(Tl) - scanning geometry) due to increased counting time and reduced background in steel room. This paper discusses about calibration, body potassium measurement, its correlation with parameters like gender and the results obtained
