Two new facilities for in vivo activation analysis of patients have been designed, developed, and constructed at Toronto General Hospital. One of these is for the determination of body calcium for the diagnosis of osteoporosis and other diseases associated with bone loss. The other is for the measurement of total body nitrogen for the determination of protein status. These facilities replace old university facilities and take into account the comfort and management of patients. In addition, in the case of the calcium facility, the precision of the measurements has been improved because of larger detector volume and increased neutron source strength. Both the facilities are now in routine hospital clinical use.
多伦多综合医院设计、开发并建造了两个用于患者体内活化分析的新设施。其中一个用于测定身体钙含量，以诊断骨质疏松症和其他与骨质流失相关的疾病。另一个用于测量全身氮含量，以确定蛋白质状况。这些设施取代了旧的大学设施，并考虑到了患者的舒适度和管理。此外，就钙含量测定设施而言，由于探测器体积增大和中子源强度增加，测量精度得到了提高。这两个设施现在都已投入医院日常临床使用。
