Since X-rays penetrate solid objects, 18 Chapter 2 but are slightly attenuated by them, the picture resulting from the exposure reveals the internal structure of the human body.
Important parameters are especially the detection efficiency, energy resolution, time resolution, emission wavelength, mechanical and hydroscopic properties.
