Question:
The X-ray attenuation coefficients as a function of photon energy for three materials are shown in the figure below. A tissue phantom containing these three materials is imaged at two different X-ray photon energies of 50 keV and 150 keV. When the developed X-ray film is viewed, which of the following statements is/are TRUE ?
