Is it possible to perform XRF scanning of teeth in human clinically?

04 August 2019 1 1K Report

This will help us to know heavy weight metal ion analysis of natural teeth and prosthesis or restoration

In principle it is possible, but I have two concerns:

a) measurement time will be very large ( up to hours) due to low heavy metal content ( if any at all); thus very inconvenient to the patient,

b) x-ray radiation dose will be too high (hours of exposure) ....compared to the benefits of such an investigation

Use of LLM will replace the Human Resource?

heavy use of Large Language Model will going to change the working style of organization?
