The energy subtraction method is employed for contrast media measurements focusing on tumors. An X-ray filter which had a K-edge a little higher than the one of the contrast media, was used to make X-ray spectra sensitive to the contrast media. For practical reasons, a CdZnTe detector was used for t

## Abstract It is important to compare different contrast media used in bone cement according to their ability to attenuate Xβrays and thereby produce image contrast between bone cement and its surroundings in clinical applications. The radiopacity of bone cement is often evaluated by making radiog
## Abstract Methods for the preparation of Iodoxyl and Diodone, Xβray contrast substances for the visualisation of the urinary tract, are given. Improved methods of iodination and methylation are described.
An analysis is presented of issues involved in peak location for the calibration of the binding energy (BE) scales of x-ray photoelectron spectrometers. These issues include the e β ects of peak asymmetry, the surface core-level shift, and the avoidance of a sloping background when Γtting spectra for
