If the thickness of the chest is 20 cm with the bone thickness to be 4 cm and the tissue thickness 16 cm, what percentage of X-rays are transmitted through the chest at an incident X-ray energy of 70 keV assuming half-value layer (HVL) values of 3.5 and 1.8 cm for muscle and bone, respectively?

X-RAY CT a) Consider a 20 cm path through water, with a small piece of bone of thickness x. Assuming water has an attenuation coefficient of 0.3 cm-1, and bone of 1.0 cm-1, how thick would the bone have to be to reduce the number of photons detected by 10%? b) Partial volume effects are troublesome when imaging some portions of the brain. Illustrate where partial volume effects lead to loss of tissue visualization. Suggest three independent ways to potentially...

Gamma-rays (Y-rays) are highly energetic electromagnetic radiation that are emitted when the nuclei undergo transitions in the energy levels. The energy of the y-rays is upward of 100 keV. Due to the high energy, the rays are not appreciably absorbed by even several centimeters of materials such as concrete or wood. However, dense metals such lead, are effective Y-ray absorbers. The amount y-rays that are absorbed depends on the material and the energy of the gamma-rays, the higher the energy,...
