While the equivalence of different filter material commonly considered usef
ul in diagnostic radiology can be obtained in terms of the overall transmit
ted primary photons, the scattering characteristics are not the same. In th
is work, comparative models that relate the scattered photons produced from
one-filter material with those from another have been developed. The compa
rison of the results of simulation of the scattering properties of these eq
uivalent filter materials using the Monte Carlo technique with those from t
he models developed in the study are in reasonable agreement.
