The half value layer (HVL) of a material is defined as the thickness of the material needed to reduce the intensity of the incident x-raybeam to half its value. Assume that the x-ray beam is monochromatic, no scattering occurs and that material A (as shown in Figure 1) is.homogeneous and has a linear attenuation coefficient (u.). Material A has an HVL of 1.5 mm. Calculate the ratio l/lz as shown in Figure 1if x-5 mm.loHA=??2xFigure 1: Schematic diagram fr question 3.

You are asked to design a spectral filter that practically removes 99.0% of the low energy photons in an X-ray beam. Such photons contribute to the patient dose without contributing to the image and are defined as no more than 1% of these photons making it to the other side of the patient. Assume a patient can be modelled as a 20cm thick homogenous object with linear attenuation coefficients as shown below in Table 1. What is the thickness of the filter needed to eliminate all the energies which satisfy the above requirement? Filter linear attenuation properties are given below in Table 2.
