  • Title: Non-invasive measurement of water content in lung phantom by neutrons: latest improvements to the technique.
    Author: Campi F, Dionigi F.
    Journal: Health Phys; 2001 Dec; 81(6):704-10. PubMed ID: 11725890.
    Abstract:
    The novel technique for measuring the water content in lungs based on the slowing down of fast neutrons has been improved making possible its clinical use on patients. This goal has been reached by performing computer simulations that closely mimic the experimental setup and by acquiring a new set of measurements obtained with a plutonium-beryllium (Pu-Be) neutron source provided of an activity suitable to clinical requirements. Finally, accurate radiation dose measurements have been carried out to ensure the acceptability of the technique.
