Theoretical modeling of a portable x-ray tube based KXRF system to measure lead in bone

Objective. K-shell x-ray fluorescence (KXRF) techniques have been used to identify health effects resulting from exposure to metals for decades, but the equipment is bulky and requires significant maintenance and licensing procedures. A portable x-ray fluorescence (XRF) device was developed to overc...
