Abstract
Differential absorption of the beam of X- ray, as it passes through the patient, results inthe creation of the radiographic image, the photon energy response of the sreen/film system has no match the spectral properties of tge radiation beam emerging from the patient. The exit spectrum consists of two components: 1) transmittes without interactions with the body, wich contains the usefull diagnostic information, and 2) Compton scattered. Transmitted and scatterde radiation spectra impinging om radiographic plane have been also simulated. Calculations have been carried out for externalirradiation of the phantoms with monochromatic and distributed photon energy.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
