X-Ray Attenuation: Explained!

👋 Hello everyone, in this video I explain X-Ray Attenuation in detail, talking about how x-rays are either 1) Absorbed, 2) Scattered, or 3) Traverse the material. If you know someone struggling with it send them the video. Enjoy! Textbook used in this video: Medical Imaging Physics (4th ed.) by William R. Hendee, Ph.D. and E. Russell Ritenour, Ph.D. Hendee, W. R., & Ritenour, E. R. (2002). Medical imaging physics (4th ed.).

WHO AM I: I'm Sahand, a Lecturer and Radiographer (and now YouTuber?) in Sydney AUS. I received my PhD (Medicine and Health) in 2023 on breast cancer imaging and radiation dose. I'm a lifelong learner, forever curious about the day to day things, and I'm here to make videos and give you my own unique take on the concepts that you may need some extra help with. 🔔 Subscribe if you'd like to see more :)
