Internal dosimetry measurements of trans-uranic (TRU) radionuclides within the human body can be accomplished by γ -ray spectroscopy using high-purity germanium detectors. While measurements are typically conducted inside shielded chambers in order

Plutonium isotopes are of high concern because they lead to high doses. In case of contamination, the activity burden inside the lungs should be assessed accurately. Many studies showed that the presence of breasts has a substantial influence on lung

A torso phantom was developed by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) that serves as a standard for intercomparison and intercalibration of detector systems used to measure low-energy photons from radionuclides, such as americium deposit

The Cameco lung counter has been recalibrated using the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory torso phantom using an extended lung set (i.e., longer than the original set). The previous calibration had used the Japanese Atomic Energy Research Instit

Modern lung counter systems which use several HPGe detectors can be used to locate a “hot spot” of uranium in the lungs by the use of vector analysis. If there is only one hot particle this localization cancels the need to assume homogenous distr

A method is described to locate a radioactive point source in a lung using a commercial array of lung detectors. The method takes advantage of the fact that modern commercial systems consist of several Ge detectors, each connected to a multi-channel

A practical and simple method was employed to improve the minimum detectable activity (MDA) for lung counting measurements by summing several accumulated spectra. The method was checked for natural uranium, which produces peaks due to photon energies

The uncertainty in the activity determination of uranium contamination due to real inhomogeneous distribution and assumption of homogenous distribution can reach more than one order of magnitude when using one detector in a set of 4 detectors coverin

Significant errors in the determination of radioactivity in lungs are caused by the usual assumption of homogeneous distribution, while actually the radioactive contamination can be in the form of a “hot spot”. Modern Lung Counter systems use sev

The Human Monitoring Laboratory has replaced its lung counting system with four large area (85 mm x 30 mm) HPGe detectors, electronics, and software. The system has been calibrated with the same lung set and phantom that was used to calibrate the Hum
