Popis: As part of the search for substitute materials for use asradiographic equipment accessories in developing countries,scattering of the exit beam at phantom-material (simulatingthe patient-cassette) interface has been investigated for Ebonywood and aluminium, for comparison, usingthermoluminescent detectors (TLD). Results for significanceof independent samples showed that, there was no statisticaldifference in the scattering of the exit beam towards thephantom, by the two tested materials (P = 0.3) at the 95%confidence interval, with changes in tube potential. Variationof radiation field size however produced a marked difference.This suggests the possible use of Ebony wood as a substitutefor aluminium as a radiographic accessory, subject however,to further radiographic tests and confirmation.
