In vivo neutron activation at the Sloan-Kettering Institute
Description
A medical cyclotron (Model CS-15, The Cyclotron Corporation, Berkeley, CA) with a multi-layer neutron collimator designed for partial body neutron irradiations and a low-background patient counting facility have been established for measurement of bone calcium and sodium; and soft tissue, exchangeable sodium and chlorine. The cyclotron also provides total-body calcium by the 37Ar method of Palmer. (author)
