✦ Synopsis

A numerical procedure was developed for escape correction of continuous x-ray spectra measured by NaI scintillation counters. The method employs a point-by-point subtraction and allows for energy-dependent detector resolution. The escape correction procedure was applied to filtered Bremsstrahlung spectra used for dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA).
