What is the meaning of the term “Radio analysis”
There is a wide range of applications of radionuclides
The effects of ionizing radiation to human tissues can cause
severe damage and injuries for example cancer.
As a consequence every justified practices including handling
of radioactive substances must consider both: the benefit
and the risk.
Knowledge on radio analytical methods
What is the meaning of the term “Radio analysis”
Determination of the activity concentration or
the spatial distribution of radionuclides
detecting the ionizing radiation caused by
radioactive decay
