Abstract
In its simplest form, X ray imaging is the collection of attenuation shadows that are projected from an ideal X ray point source on to an image receptor. This simple form is true for all X ray imaging modalities, including complex ones that involve source and receptor movement, such as computed tomography (CT). This simplified view, however, is made vastly more complex by the non-ideal point source, by the consequences of projecting a 3-D object on to a 2-D detector and by the presence of scattered radiation, generated within the patient, which will degrade any image that is captured.
