LUNG COUNTER

Lung counter for measuring radioactivity in the lungs

Counting system for fast and reliable radiometric checks of human lungs. Two NaI(Tl) detectors on a height-adjustable table are aimed at the lungs while the person sits in a chair, and the software converts count rates into activity in the lungs and committed effective dose using response curves from Monte Carlo simulations.

Detector type
Two cylindrical 5 × 4 in NaI(Tl) crystals with PMT1
Energy range
30 keV–3 MeV1
Spectrum channels
2,0481
