摘要
In November 1994 we performed some preliminary studies on cancer kidney tissues. The objective of the measurements was to find a difference in trace element concentrations between normal and cancerous kidney tissue. All targets were prepared as pellets of more or less the same weight and thickness. Kidney samples were obtained during surgical operations done in the Clinic of Urology in Cracow. All kidneys were subject to removal due to cancer disease. Samples for analysis were taken from the cancerous part of the kidney and the non-cancerous one. All samples were analyzed by means of SRIXE (Synchrotron Radiation Induced X-ray Emission) at the NSLS (National Synchrotron Light Source) in BNL (Brookhaven National Laboratory) and by means of PIXE at INP (Institute of Nuclear Physics) in Cracow.
