Whenever coherent radiation impinges on a scattering object, a speckled intensity pattern is produced. In the far field the speckle size and shape do not mirror any properties of the object. Here ...

During mammography, some X-rays scatter away from the primary beam in the breast and spread outward in different directions. Although this scatter radiation is much weaker than the primary beam ...

In many cases, device replacement may be necessary. [5, 9] When discussing indirect effects of radiation on device function, care must be taken to distinguish between scatter radiation and EMI.

In an effort to find an answer to the problem of identifying smuggled special nuclear material, researchers say a neutron scatter camera they are developing may be able to detect radiation from ...

There is no need for women to wear thyroid shields when they undergo screening mammography because scatter radiation is minimal, likely making cancer risk negligible.

TIANJIN -- A Chinese research team has developed a novel system to enable non-invasive and dynamic monitoring of blood sodium ...

Scatter radiation has become a concern as there are patients and also healthcare professionals who are found to suffer due to improper handling of radiation equipment.

The high energy radiation that carry the orbit angular momentum has become an extremely important tool to investigate the angular momentum related physics in microworld. But the generation and ...

A NASA NIAC study is developing the technology to get within 0.5 solar radii of the sun. The goal is to scatter 99.9% of the solar radiation. A solar radii is 700,000 kilometers. They want to get to 0 ...

CHICAGO -- Scatter radiation from screening mammography is minimal, even to the thyroid, and results in negligible risk to the patient, researchers reported here.
