A Tunable Energy Filter for Medical X-Ray Imaging

Figure 1

Left: energy filtering with the multiprism lens. The chromatic lens focuses radiation on a slit, and the energy corresponding to a sharp image is preferentially transmitted. We use a setup with  mm and  mm, yielding an image size of m with a 24  m source. Right: close-up of the lens. It has a tooth height m a length  mm, and a focal length that is tuned by changing .
