Abstract
Work has been continued on the development of techniques for imaging spatial elemental distributions by means of differential absorption about the K-absorption edge of the particular element Z. A method to correct for spurious effects due to differential absorption in overlying absorber is described. Initial clinical studies of thyroid iodine images on patients are presented. Application of absorption edge transmission scanning to thin in-vitro samples of bone is also discussed.
