摘要: An approach to determine both the density and composition of human vertebra based on Uncollimated Compton Scattering is presented. The proposed method uses photon energy-history its relationship transit path rather than current practice rigorous collimation. results using a model indicate that can be used small changes in trabecular region. It this region will allow detection at an earlier stage currently attainable possibility prophylactic treatment.
