(A) Mass attenuation coefficients of various heavy metal elements and x-ray photon intensities at a tube voltage of 120 kV. The x-ray photon intensity spectrum (dotted line) was generated by using Spektr 3.0 (x-ray spectrum modeling software). (B) Characteristics of the six heavy elements used in this study. The salt prices of these elements were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich.
