This lecture covers the tissue dependence of x-ray absorption, focusing on the total mass attenuation coefficient and the factors affecting the linear attenuation coefficient, such as effective atomic number and photon energy. It also explains the concept of effective atomic number for biological tissues and the composition of select tissues. Additionally, it discusses X-ray contrast agents, their role in modifying the effective atomic number, and the use of high atomic number compounds for contrast enhancement.
