In vitro bone mineral measurements by coherent scattering in phantoms and the calcaneus
Abstract
Scattered and transmitted spectra were measured for 103 keV photons using solutions of K2HPO4. The ratios of both the number of coherently scattered photons to the number of transmitted photons and the number of coherently scattered to Compton scattered photons were measured. The sensitivity of the coherent/transmission ratio to change in effective atomic number was almost twice that of the coherent/Compton ratio. The coherent/transmission …
