Abstract
A study of contrast in photon transmission tomography of brain was presented. Quantitative evaluation of linear attenuation coefficients due to photoelectric, Compton and pair creation effects suggested that the use of photons of a few million electron volts might considerably improve the contrasr between white and grey brain matter. The patient dose at different photon energies was calculated.
