AbstractAbstract
[en] A method has been developed, employing dual crystal scintillation detectors and real time computer analysis, to improve the detection limits for low energy photons (less than 150 keV) in the presence of other higher energy photon emitters in the body. Since, as this study indicates, the Compton scattering events from potassium-40 are responsible for a significant portion of the counts in the low energy background spectrum, it is possible to reduce background below 150 keV by simulataneously measuring the 40K and calculating its contribution to the spectrum below 150 keV
