Abstract
Photon scattering cross-section data for freshly excised and filtered
liquid pig fat was measured in the interval chi = 0.02 to 0.64 Angstro
m(-1) (chi = E[sin(theta/2)]/12.4; E being the photon incident energy
(keV) and theta the scattering angle). The experimental results demon
strate that the marked intermolecular effects of coherent scattering i
n the forward direction can be exploited as a tool for characterizing
lean and fatty tissue. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All
