RESUMO
We discuss a new method to determine the value of minimum detectable activity (MDA) in low-level measurements. The method is based on the Feldman-Cousins unified approach which effectively combines the construction of confidence intervals with the determination of the decision threshold and MDA. The new method requires a single probability to be pre-specified for the determination of MDA as well as decision threshold and confidence interval, in contrast with the ISO 11929 method requiring three probabilities.
