Popis:	This article is the third of a five-part series covering various aspects of occupational thyroid monitoring. This article introduces the basic concepts required to understand the procedure for determining the counting efficiency of a thyroid detector. The B.R.M.D. thyroid-neck phantom is used as the calibration source. A procedure for personnel monitoring is also discussed and the concept of Minimum Detectable Activity (MDA) is introduced. The last two articles in this series discuss energy calibration, counting system optimization based on a single-channel analyzer and placement error minimization.
