A simple method for the determination of volatile selenium compounds employing a gas chromatograph equipped with a photoionization detector is described. The method involves the direct injection of dimethylselenide (DMS) or dimethyldiselenide (DMDS) into the gas chromatograph; no derivatization of the sample was required. The photoionization detector was capable of detecting 60 pg (0.55 pmol) o...

New methods of dosimetry in computed tomography (CT) X-ray fields require the use of high-resolution detectors instead of pencil-type ionization chambers typically used for CT dose index (CTDI) measurements. This paper presents a study on the suitability of a wide range of ionization chambers, diodes, and a two-dimensional detector array, used primarily in radiation therapy, for CT and cone-bea...

Sir,—MacDonald and Mackenzie (1976) reported an alinear relationship between peak height and halothane concentration when measuring halothane (0.2—4.0%) with a gas chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector. Alinearity persisted when the sample loop size was reduced from 2 ml to 0.1 ml, and a linear response was obtained only when the flame ionization detector was replaced with a k...
