Creators

Description

Two problems arise in determining the lung or body burden of an individual. The first is to determine the type of phantom which will satisfactorily simulate the subject and the second is to estimate the response of the measurement system to the subject if he were not contaminated in order to generate a base spectrum to which the actual subject spectrum is compared
