Transmission Data in NCRP 147• Measured or calculated B(x) data of modernthree phase /constant potential beams:– Archer et al. (1994) for Pb, gypsum wallboard,steel, plate glass– Légaré et al. (1977) / Rossi (1997) for concrete– Simpkin (1987) for mammography• Transmission data for a wide variety ofmaterials were interpolated to yield B(x)every 5 kVp (Simpkin 1995)22
Archer Equation for Transmission Curves• Archer et al. presented avery useful equation fordescribing transmissiondata B fit to barrierthickness x in 3 parameters(α, β, γ)Bβ⎡⎛ ⎞ = 1αγ⎢⎜ + ⎟ ex⎣⎝α⎠−βαlog B⎤⎥⎦1x−γ23
