The use of skin Fe levels as a surrogate marker for organ Fe levels, to monitor treatment in cases of iron overload

A system based on the detection of K-shell x-ray fluorescence (XRF) has been used to investigate whether a correlation exists between the concentration of iron in the skin and the concentration of iron in the liver, as the degree of iron loading increases. The motivation behind this work is to devel...
