Abstract
Single-scattered energy was calculated for a water phantom, in a geometrical arrangement that approaches that of the dynamic spatial reconstructor. Recent data on the Rayleigh differential cross-sections of liquid water were used. The ratio for single-scattered to transmitted radiation is found to be dependent upon incident energy: in the range 20-80 keV, it varies from 0.32-0.16. The contribution of the Rayleigh effect to single scattering is of the order of 90% at 20 keV and 50% at 80 keV.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
