Abstract
A Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analysis (PGNAA) system has been designed and constructed to measure the total body nitrogen and Cd for in vivo studies. An aqueous solution of KNO3 was used as phantom for system calibration. The facility has been used to monitor total body nitrogen (TBN) of mice and found that is related to their diet. Some mice swallowed diluted water with Cl2Cd, and the presence of Cd was detected in the animals. The minimum Cd concentration that the system can detect was 20 ppm. © 2007 American Institute of Physics.
