Some Applications of Si(Li) Detectors to Clinical Problems

The replacement of conventional clinical techniques and the development of new techniques using solid state detectors are discussed. Work presented here includes a simplified (geometry and counting-time independent) method for in-vitro iodine and bromine determinations, in-vivo iodine measurements through a tissue absorption correction based on the ratio of. Kα to Kβ radiation, cardiac output studies, and evaluation of absorptive characteristics of cerebral ventricles.
