Modelling of Material Composition in X-Ray Diagnostics

Abstract:

The problem of formation of a material, which has the coefficients of attenuation and scattering close or coinciding with the same coefficients for some other predetermined material, was considered. A computer processing of values of these coefficients for a big set of various materials has been carried out and their dependence on radiation energy value was studied. The conclusion was drawn about probability of successful solution of the problem in some cases and difficulties, which may occur were pointed out. A set of computer calculations carried out for some specific materials is provided.
