    A new Laplace transform model accurately reconstructs bremsstrahlung spectra using attenuation data. This method achieves high accuracy, showing less than 2% deviation from experimental 70-kVp data for aluminum and copper attenuators.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Physics
    • Applied Physics
    • Spectroscopy

    Background:

    • Bremsstrahlung spectra are crucial for radiation therapy and diagnostic imaging.
    • Accurate spectral reconstruction from attenuation data is essential for dose calculations.
    • Existing methods may have limitations in precision and applicability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel four-parameter Laplace transform pair model for bremsstrahlung spectrum reconstruction.
    • To validate the model's accuracy using experimental attenuation data.
    • To assess the model's performance across different kilovolt peak (kVp) settings.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a four-parameter Laplace transform pair model.
    • Acquisition of experimental bremsstrahlung spectra using aluminum and copper attenuators.
