Abstract

This chapter describes various densitometry techniques that involve measurement of photon absorption at a single energy and at multiple energies and measurement of differential photon attenuation across absorption edges. Covered in the chapter include single-line, multiple-energy, absorption-edge, and hybrid K-edge densitometry. Applications using these techniques are discussed, and measurement procedures with typical performance results are described.
