A prototype multidetector shadow-shield whole-body counter is presented to be used as a monitor of internal contamination and as a tool in clinical research. The counter is equipped with 16 NaI(Tl) detectors located in the central region of a shielded tunnel surrounding the subject to be measured. The accuracy of the counting efficacy predictions was tested in a group of adults with various body shapes and sizes using X-ray absorptiometry. The precision of the total body potassium measurements allows the use of the counter in clinical follow-up studies.
