PART C (1 x 15 = 15 Marks)
16. a) Muscle thickness = 1.5 cm. Bone thickness = 1.5 cm. Incident X-ray intensity = 15 (15)
kW/m2. When the incident X-ray photon energy is equal to 80 keV, the mass
attenuation constant for bone and muscle are 0.0052 m2/kg and 0.0025 m2/kg
respectively. The bone and muscle have the density equal to 1850 kg/m3 and 1060
kg/m3 respectively. Determine the ratio between the emergent X-ray intensity from
bone and muscle. Also calculate the contrast in the image on film made by the
emergent X-rays from bone and muscle.
OR
b) A defibrillator delivers a square pulse of 4000 V with a duration of 4 milliseconds. (15)
The internal resistance of the defibrillator is about 15 ohms. The skin-electrode
resistance is 50 ohms and the thorax resistance is 30 ohms. Compute the energy
delivered to the patient’s thorax and the total energy available from the defibrillator.
Also calculate the percentage of loss of energy.
