Photon scattering and reflection in medical diagnostic energy domain

Abstract

The dependence of reflected photons angular and energy distributions on parameter c' - the probability for large-angle scattering - is treated in this paper. The simulation of photon reflection was performed by the FOTELP code for a normal incidence of photons into infinite slabs of common shielding materials, and for the photon initial energies of 20 keV up to 100 keV.
