Mar 31, 2024 · However, a small focal spot is required to achieve good radiographic image quality. Thus the line focus principle helps resolve this issue by stating that angulation of the anode surface will result in an apparent decrease in the focal spot size. The effective focal spot (projected focal spot) size can be determined by the sine of the angle of ...
Mar 26, 2024 · A primary beam with greater kV results in an overall rise in penetration through all tissues (decrease in attenuation differences), therefore resulting in a lower contrast radiograph. Hence the high kV technique of the chest x-ray is employed to present a more uniformly dense image to better appreciate the lung markings.

5 days ago · DLSMHSI Attenuation Attenuation is the removal of photons from a beam of x-rays or gamma rays as it passes through matter. The total reduction in the number of x-rays remaining in an x-ray beam after penetration through a given thickness of tissue. It is caused by both absorption and scattering of the primary photons.
Mar 29, 2024 · Recent advancements in XFEL technology have led to a remarkable increase in X-ray beam intensity at the sample surface, exceeding 1020 times the intensity of X-ray tubes commonly used in medical settings. This advancement enables the collection of diffraction patterns from smaller crystals than ever before.

Mar 29, 2024 · The stability of the beam spot at the sample position was measured at a frequency of 100 Hz using the X-ray beam online monitoring device [Fig. 4 (b)]. The measured root-mean-square (RMS) deviations of the normalized beam flux, horizontal/vertical beam spot position and width at the µSAXS experimental station are 2.84%, 3.29% × 1.67% and 0.38 ...
Mar 25, 2024 · The realization of compact X-ray sources is one of the most intriguing applications of laser-plasma based electron acceleration. These sources based on the oscillation of short micron-sized bunches of relativistic electrons provide femtosecond X-ray pulses that are collimated, bright, and partially coherent. The state-of-the-art laser plasma X-ray sources can provide photon flux of over 1011 ...
