A Mathematical Model for Detection of Back-Scattered Radiation during Diagnostic Scanning with a Narrow X-Ray Beam

  • Published:
Biomedical Engineering Aims and scope

A mathematical model for detection of foreign impurities in the inspected object with the use of a narrow scanning X-ray beam is suggested. A generalized expression for signal/noise ratio for the diagnostic system with a detector of the back-scattered radiation was derived.
