Abstract:
Physical models related with solution approximation of a transport equation applicable to X-ray computer tomography are under discussion. Use of a point mono-energy collimated irradiation source is defined; when such source interacts with an investigated object, the effect of scattering of primary photons can be neglected or considered for the general tendency of rectilinear propagation of photons in a substance. The model can be adopted for photon energies ranging from 20 to 150 keV, in which a weak effect from Compton scattering and photoeffect predominance are evident.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
