摘要: Lead poisoning in humans has become of increasing interest to medical researchers the last few years-leading development vivo X-ray fluorescence (XRF) methods analysis. These suffer from larger minimum detectable concentrations (MDC) than desirable. Monte Carlo simulation is capable providing an easier and more efficient method investigating possible improvements MDC accuracy XRF measurement bone through design optimization systems. The specific purpose code NCSXRF been revised simulate hypothesized systems that measure K X rays or L lead tibia. Preliminary results demonstrate capability measurements
