Diagnostic: photoelectric Therapeutic: compton High energy: pair production |
|
|
Photoelectric Effect |
Photon absorbed by atomic electron and electron is ejected from the atom |
|
|
Compton scattering definition |
Photon interacts with atomic electron, electron is ejected and photon loses some energy and is deflected |
|
|
Compton scattering equation |
|
|
|
Compton special cases |
90 degree deflection = 0.511MeV 180 degree deflection = 0.255MeV |
|
|
Compton dependence on incoming photon energy |
|

|
Pair production definition |
Lala |
|
|
Electron soft collisions |
Electrons traverse through matter and give energy to atomic electrons along the way |
|
|
Electron hard collision |
Incident electron interacts primarily with an atomic electron and atomic electron is ejected leaving atom in ionized state |
|
|
Ejected electron |
Delta ray |
