A system for dual-energy radiography.

R D Speller, G J Ensell, C Wallis

    The British Journal of Radiology
    |July 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A new radiography system generates chemical information from X-rays using dual-energy imaging. This technique allows for material analysis, like gall-stone composition, by measuring effective atomic number and physical density.
