. Consider the case of hand x-ray imaging. For simplicity, assume that the hand consists of only bone and muscle, and the weighting factors for the bone and the muscle in the hand are Woone Wmuscle = 0.002. The mass attenuation coefficients of muscle and bone are provided in the below table. What is the effective dose for an exposure of X = 1 R for x-rays at 20 keV?
