Application of the generic ANSI N13. 30 minimum detectable activity equation to multichannel analysis

This paper addresses the concepts of the decision level (L{sub c}) and the minimum detectable activity (MDA) as they pertain to the interpretation of direct in vivo measurements. The approach is an extension of the methods found in the bioassay performance criteria of the draft ANSI Standard N13.30 Performance Criteria for Radiobioassay.'' 3 refs., 2 tabs.
