Abstract
The object of this article is to apprise physicians and chemists of nuclear analytical techniques and, in particular, of ion beam analysis (PIXE and PIGE) for the purpose of application to the clinical diagnostic method.
The feasibility of the technique, sampling, and sample preparation for trace element analysis in biological and biomedical samples has been described previously (1–3). Analysis data from normal human blood samples and biomedical samples by ion beam reactions have been compared at the end.
Emphasis will be placed on the use of the analytical technique on determination of the range of trace and toxic elements in human blood samples.
