Abstract

A Monte Carlo program has been written to model the in vivo X-ray fluorescence of lead in the kidney, to aid the choice of one of four candidate fluorescing source/measurement geometry combinations: ¹⁰⁹Cd/180', ⁵⁷Co/90' and ⁹⁹Tc^m at both 180' and 90'. Computational studies and practical considerations led to the choice of ⁹⁹Tc^m in a backscatter geometry for the measurement system.
