Some developments: DECT

Attenuation is function of medium density and elemental composition Several materials same HU but different densities and elemental compositions

DECT exploits energy and compositional dependence of  at keV energies  (E) =  (af compton (E) + bf PE (E)) a and b depend only on composition of material

Scan at 2 energies to give Z eff via simultaneous equations

and electron or mass density
