Ct is a sophisticated medical diagnostic method that can give detailed information about injury and disease within the body (a) if a high-level sportsperson were to hurt their arm a ct scan might be used to determine details of the injury. what kind of information can be obtained from a ct scanner? how? (1 mark) (b) in the table below, the mass absorption coefficients and densities of different materials are presented mass absorption coefficient| density (cm2/g) material (g/cm3) borosilicate glass (pyrex) soft tissue 15.050 2.23 5.379 1.00 water 5.329 1.00 (i) if 10 kev energy x-rays travel through these materials with an initial intensity of 1 w/cm2, what is the intensity of x-rays emerging from 5cm thick samples of each of these materials? |(2 marks) (ii) compare the properties of these materials with reference to x-rays. is there any point using these x-rays to try to measure the difference between these materials? justify your answer with an explanation (1 mark) (iii) how would it be possible that the mass absorption coefficient of each material be different for other x-ray energies?
