Abstract

The knowledge of x-ray spectra is highly desirable in some investigation involves the differential penetrating power and absorption coefficient correction of various photon beam. The transmission data were obtained from the 80 kVp and 120 kVp of CT x-ray beam with the aluminium filter which is designed in a 30 cm of diameter and pipe-typed filter was prepared from 5.0 mm upto 92.3 mm of thickness. To obtain the reconstructed spectra of CT x-ray, the investigator used the iterative numerical analysis which has been extended to include the tungsten characteristics from experimental transmission data with energy interval of 2 keV. Comparison of the calculated transmission data from the reconstructed spectra with that of measurement shows good agreement in both 80 kVp and 120 kVp x-ray beams. This numerical analysis based on iteratively calculation of fractional exposure per energy interval shows the high potential of usefulness of determination the x-ray spectra from the attenuated beam in diagnostic energy range.
