Suppose that an x-ray tube is set up to fire n 10,000-photon bursts at a detector. What is the intrinsic SNR assuming that the photon burst follows a Poisson distribution? (5 points) Suppose that an x-ray tube is set up to fire n 10,000-photon bursts at a detector. What is the intrinsic SNR assuming that the photon burst follows a Poisson distribution? (5 points)

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

The intrinsic SNR is given by SNR N sqrtN where N is the number of photons in the burst For a 10000p... View the full answer
