Abstract :
Conventional X-ray radiography evaluates the attenuation of X-rays to provide information about the examined object. In this approach it remains difficult to distinguish whether the object features are induced by the object geometry or by the material composition. Measuring the X-ray photon flux together with evaluation of the transmission spectra can solve this problem as will be presented in this paper.
