Abstract
There has recently been growing interest in various atomic and nuclear techniques for the measurement of elements in the body. This has arisen through the realisation that (a) clinically-important amounts of toxic elements can be absorbed as a result of low-level environmental exposure, and (b) important information about the nutritional status of a patient can be obtained from measurements of major body elements. In this paper the use of x-ray fluorescence for the in vivo detection of heavy metals - especially platinum, lead, and cadmium - is described.
