Question

In the diagnostic radiology energy range (which includes mammography) from 23 to 150 kVp, which of the following tissues possesses the greatest ability to absorb radiant energy through the process of photoelectric absorption?

Answer 1

Answer:

Bone

Explanation:

Diagnostic radiology include the use of non-invasive imaging scans to diagnose a patient.

The voltages used in diagnostic tubes range from roughly 20 kV to 150 kV and thus the highest energies of the X-ray photons range from roughly 20 keV to 150 keV.

The tests and equipment used sometimes involves low doses of radiation to create highly detailed images of an area.
