ABSTRACT:
An X-ray apparatus comprises a polychromatic X-ray source for generating a primary beam of small cross-section, an energy-sensitive detector arrangement for detecting the scattered radiation produced by elastic scattering processes in the primary beam, which detector arrangement comprises a plurality of detector elements which are arranged on rings concentric with the primary beam, and a collimator arrangement which is arranged between the X-ray source and the detector arrangement and which encloses the primary beam. In order to enable accurate determination of the pulse transfer spectrum while using a low dose, the collimator arrangement is constructed so that the scattered radiation from the same section of the primary beam is incident on a plurality of detector elements.
