摘要: Abstract A technique for determination of elements in human body in-vivo, utilizing nuclear resonant scattering gamma rays has been developed. 847 keV photons emitted from a gaseous 56 MnCl 2 source are resonantly scattered Fe present the body. The detection these is used to estimate iron content liver or heart patients. Details calibration procedure and potential molecular effects described.
