More in vivo intercomparisons available

     In addition to the intercomparisons identified by Dave Hickman's 
     recent posting, the U.S. Department of Energy Phantom Library needs to 
     be mentioned.  The Phantom Library was established to provide 
     tissue-substitute calibration phantoms to DOE and DOE-contractor 
     sites, and other federal agencies throughout the US, and these are 
     made for the cost of round-trip air transportation.  NON-GOVERNMENT 
     LOANS CAN BE ARRANGED for a cost-recovery fee from the user.  The 
     inventory includes NIST-traceable Bottle Manikin Absorption (BOMAB) 
     phantoms, a Fission Product Phantom, an Am241 bone whole-body phantom, 
     a Realistic torso phantom with various tissue-equivalent organ inserts 
     and lung sets, and thyroid phantoms.  The library is operated for the 
     DOE Office of Worker Protection Programs and Hazards Management 
     (EH-52) by the Pacific Northwest Natinal Laboratory in Richland, WA.
