Abstract
k-Standardization method was applied in clinical investigation to evaluate the whole blood correlation factor of Na and K, Fe and Zn of 21 patients suffering from Alzheimer pathology and 5 normal controls. Samples were irradiated at Es-Salam research reactor. However, the concept (QC/QA) is considered to evaluate the accuracy of the method. NIST 1566b (Oyster tissue) and IAEA A13 (animal blood) were analyzed simultaneously with the samples. Three statistical parameters Z-score, U-score and bias were determined and discussed.
