Article Synopsis
- The paper outlines a method to estimate the levels of 241Am and 239Pu in human tissue using a portable High Purity Germanium detector (HPGe) by measuring the contaminant's depth.
- It explains how to calculate photopeak counts with a collimator and discusses the limitations of Minimum Detectable Activities (MDA) when using different detector configurations.
- Two specific methods for estimating the presence of 239Pu alongside 241Am are detailed, alongside a proposed optimal monitoring period for detecting low intake levels relevant to treatment procedures.
