Figure Lengend Snippet: (a) Spectrum of 120-kVp x-ray beam filtered with 1-mm Al and collimated by lead, which adds features including increased attenuation below the L-edges of lead and K-shell fluorescence x-rays from lead. Mass attenuation coefficients33 of (b) La, Gd, Lu and (c) I, Gd, and Ho plus water shown with the thresholds of the energy bins on the CZT detector for each phantom.
Article Snippet: The CZT detector (Redlen Technologies, Saanichton, BC, Canada) consisted of two adjacent modules each 8 × 12 mm 2 in size with a 2-mm thick, 330 - μ m pitch high-flux sensor.
Techniques: Fluorescence
