Abstract
AbstractAt photon energies below 100 keV, coherent scatter becomes important and because of its sharply forward peaked nature, it is the dominant interaction at small angles. Further, in the momentum transfer region above 0.5 Å−1, free atom form factors are sufficient to describe coherent scattering. The angular distribution of the coherent scattering carries detailed information about the object and can be used as a signature of the tissue type of the object. The aim of this work was to analyze the scattering properties of different human tissues according to histological classifications. The coherent scattering signatures of healthy and neoplastic breast, uterus and kidney tissues were measured using x‐ray synchrotron radiation at the XRD2 beamline at the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS).
