Scatter in 240-kVp mobile chest radiography. 1982

L K Wagner, and G Cohen

The effects of scatter radiation on signal-to-noise ratio and optical density contrast are quantitatively compared for three tissue interfaces at 85, 110, and 240 kVp in mobile chest techniques. It is shown that scatter in the mediastinal portion of the radiograph is virtually independent of energy, while it substantially increases with energy in the lung fields.
