Abstract
An in vivo measurement system using an imaging plate (IP) system was developed, which displayed images reflecting 239Pu distribution in the lung of a phantom. The detection limits of the IP system for 1-12Â h exposures were between 1670 and 245Â Bq at a 1.6Â cm chest wall thickness. The detection limit of the IP system for a 2.5Â h exposure was equal to that of a germanium detector for a 0.5Â h measurement. The IP system could be used as a new device for in vivo measurement of 239Pu in the lung.
