If two anatomic structures have the same density and atomic number but one is twice as thick as the other,the thicker structure will absorb

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The thickness of a structure determines its absorption of x-ray photons. If two structures have the same density and atomic number but different thickness, the thicker structure will absorb more photons as the x-rays pass through it due to the increased interaction between the x-rays and atomic electrons. Therefore, if one structure is twice as thick as the other, it will absorb twice as many x-ray photons.
