Abstract

A radioactive implant induced X-ray emission (RIXE) technique was examined for the in vivo determination of heavy elements. By the use of67Ga,99mTc,123I,123Xe and201Tl implant excitation sources, the excitation efficiency and X-ray attenuation were measured to reveal the potential pairs of source-heavy element of interest for in vivo elemental analysis by the RIXE technique. Detection limits for the RIXE in vivo analysis were evaluated according to Currie's criterion. Four pairs,99mTc−Pb,201Tl−I,133Xe−Cd and123I−Cd are potential.
