摘要
To turn the advantage of energy measurement in x-ray transmission diagnosis into practice, we propose a novel detector for the estimation of x-ray energy distribution. This detector consists of several segment detectors arrayed in the direction of x-ray incidence. Each segment detector measures x-rays as current. With unfolding measured currents, the x-ray energy distribution is obtained. The practical application of this detector was verified by estimating the iodine thickness in an acryl phantom.
