Özet

An energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence analysis is applied for determining the spatial distribution of elemental concentrations of emboli in the vascular system. The fluorescent Kalpha x-rays of elements were detected so that the elemental concentration could be determined for these elements. For this measurement, Am-241 and Fe-55 radioisotopes were used for excitation of samples and a Si(Li) detector together with an ND66B multichannel analyzer was used for counting of Kalpha x-rays.
