This post is the second method of scatter attenuation. Compton scatter (or Incoherent scatter) There are three main steps in compton scatter. 1. An incoming x ray photon interacts with an outer orbital electron. 2. The incoming x ray photon knocks the orbital electron out of it orbit (becoming a […]
This week is a neat case showing two distodens developing in the mandible. Distodens are supernumerary teeth found in the molar region. Note distal to the mandibular left (developing) third molar is another follicle with the enamel evident. On the patients right side, only the follicle is evident. No calcified […]
This post is the first of three involving methods of attenuation. The first two posts will be on types of scatter; coherent scatter and compton scatter. The last post will be on absorption; photoelectric effect. These are physics topics and more likely apply to students as they are learning about […]
