Problem 63
Q
  1. Suppose for a conventional X-ray image that the X-ray beam consists of parallel rays. What would be the magnification of the image?
  2. Suppose, instead, that the X-rays come from a point source (as in Fig. 25–41) that is 15 cm in front of a human body which is 25 cm thick, and the film is pressed against the person’s back. Determine and discuss the range of magnifications that result.
Conventional X-ray imaging, which is essentially shadowing.
Figure 25-41 Conventional X-ray imaging, which is essentially shadowing.
A
  1. M=1M=1
  2. Mfront=2.7,Mback=1M_{front} = 2.7, M_{back} = 1
