  This study included measuring the mass radioactivity of uranium, thorium, and potassium in human tissue samples (healthy and carcinogenic) using gamma-ray spectrometer SAM940TM. A comparison was made between healthy and infected tissues, and large differences were found between them in terms of mass radioactivity. Twenty biological samples were collected from the governorates of Basra and Thi-Qar. These samples included (healthy and carcinogenic human tissues) from the human body and for the same organ (kidney, colon, and breast). This study showed that the highest value of mass radioactive activity of uranium is 97.73 Bq/Kg, while the activity of thorium was observed to be 256 Bq/Kg. It was close to the activity of healthy tissues, 2.15 Bq/Kg. As for the thorium-232 isotope, we note that the mass activity of the isotope for healthy and infected tissues is almost identical to the acti.. Read More»
