The effect of filters and collimators on Compton scatter and Pb K-series peaks in XRF bone lead analysis
Abstract
The utility of Al, Cu and In filters and collimators of different diameters in the X-ray fluorescence measurement of lead in the bone was investigated. The changes in Compton scattering and Pb K-series peaks were analyzed with different filters and collimators. Compton scattering and fractional dead time were significantly reduced with the use of filters. The FWHM values of Pb Kα1, Kβ1,3 peaks decrease in a nearly linear relation with the ratio …
