Abstract

See full text

The calibration method consists in measuring the efficiency D of a detector cell placed behind the object as a function of various phantom thicknesses E.sub.p and various X-ray tube supply voltages V.sub.m. These measurements enable an analytic model D=f(V.sub.m, E.sub.p) to be determined describing the resulting curves. The inverse function of this analytic model can be used for calculating thickness E.sub.p as a function of the measured efficiency D and the known supply voltage V.sub.m.
