Abstract

A fluorescent x-ray tomography system is useful in performing fluorescent x-ray analysis for target atoms in biomedical objects utilizing a drug deliverly system. This tomography system is employed in order to measure iodine distribution in objects, and the system consists of a cerium x-ray generator, a 58-μm-thick stannum filter, a tungsten collimator, and a computed radiography system. Because K-series characteristic x-rays from the cerium target are absorbed effectively by iodine-based contrast media, iodine fluorescent x-rays from iodine atoms in the objects are produced. In the tomography system, when the objects are exposed by fan beams, the stannum filter easily transmits iodine Kα rays from a slice plane, and tomograms are obtained using the CR system and the collimator.
