Abstract
Differences in body size and shape can cause large variances in the re sults of in vivo neutron activation analysis. Preliminary body-size co rrection data were obtained for the delayed-gamma neutron activation f acility (DGNA) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), based on phant om standards of different sizes, used in combination with computer sim ulations on the effect of different body sizes.
