Materials and Methods:Materials and Methods:

Fresh pigskin was cut into four 2” x 2” pieces. Fresh pigskin was cut into four 2” x 2” pieces. Two pieces were contaminated with Tc-99m Two pieces were contaminated with Tc-99m and two with Tl-201 and two with Tl-201

Contamination measurements were made Contamination measurements were made initially and after each cleaning step using a initially and after each cleaning step using a Ludlum thin window pancake detector with a Ludlum thin window pancake detector with a counts-per-minute (cpm) scalecounts-per-minute (cpm) scale

Transition Metal and Actinide solutions were Transition Metal and Actinide solutions were sprayed in succession on a piece of skin sprayed in succession on a piece of skin contaminated with Tc-99m (A) and on a piece contaminated with Tc-99m (A) and on a piece contaminated with Tl-201 (B)contaminated with Tl-201 (B)
