Définition

  • Quantitative in vivo measurements of radioactivity in the human body started in the 1940s with the emergence of scintillation detectors. The Whole-Body Counter (WBC) is a device used to identify and measure the radioactive material in the body of human beings and animals resulting from the accumulation of naturally occurring radioactivity and of radiotracers and radioactivity introduced by humans, and from the accidental absorption of radio contaminants.
