Detection limits and quantification of 60Co with gamma camera and handheld gamma detectors in human phantoms
In an emergency situation where radioactive material has been spread to the environment and large groups of people have been internally contaminated there is a need for rapid examination of the activity contents in those persons. The specific purpose of this work is to explore methods for rapid in-vivo determination of 60Co in humans using equipments not dedicated to whole-body counting, in order
