A Perspex (Lucite) phantom is used to calibrate a 6 MV photon beam. A cylindrical air ion chamber has a wall thickness (polystyrene) of 0.20 g/cm2 and an inner diameter of 5 mm. The ion chamber is placed at a depth of 5 cm in the phantom. The NxAion = 1.05 × 1010 R/C (T = 22 oC, P = 760 torr) for Co-60 for this chamber. Charge collected is 2.50 × 10-8C at P = 750 torr and T = 20.0 oC. The ion collection efficiency is 0.985. (a) Calculate the Ngas (Gy/C) for the chamber. (b) Calculate the absorbed dose (Gy) in Perspex at this depth. (c) What would be the absorbed dose (Gy) in water at approximately the same depth in a water phantom?

You are asked to design a spectral filter that practically removes 99.0% of the low energy photons in an X-ray beam. Such photons contribute to the patient dose without contributing to the image and are defined as no more than 1% of these photons making it to the other side of the patient. Assume a patient can be modelled as a 20cm thick homogenous object with linear attenuation coefficients as shown below in Table 1. What is the thickness of the filter needed to eliminate all the energies which satisfy the above requirement? Filter linear attenuation properties are given below in Table 2.

At around 150keV, If you know that the mass attenuation coefficient of lead is around 4 cm2 /g, and that its density is 11.34 g/cm3 : a) What is the half-value layer (HVL) of lead at this photon energy? b) How many sheets of HVL thickness you need to use in order to attenuate the X-ray beam at around 150keV to be lower than 10-3 of its incident intensity
The Ka x-ray line for any element arises because of atransition between the K shell (n = 1) and the L shell (n = 2).this line (for a molybdenum target)occurring at a single wavelength.

(b) Similarly, how many componentsdoes the Kb line have?
