A description is given of the structure and some characteristics of the whole body counter at Kyoto University. The counter is intended for use in radiation protection and medical diagnostic investigations. Three types of detectors are set for whole body counting of human subjects: (1) one 8 in.×4 in. NaI (Tl) crystal scintillation probe, (2) four sets of probes consisting of a 1.5 in.×1.5 in. NaI (Tl) crystal and a photomultiplier tube, (3) four plastic scintillation probes. Output signals from the detectors are analyzed in a 400 channel pulse-height analyzer and a dual-channel pulse-height analyzer. Some data of this counter are presented.
