This document discusses the interactions of radiation with matter. There are three main interactions when radiation passes through matter: transmission with no interaction, absorption, and scatter. The probability of different interactions depends on factors like the radiation energy and the atomic number of the material. The five main interactions are the photoelectric effect, Compton scattering, coherent scattering, pair production, and photodisintegration. Each interaction results in different byproducts like photoelectrons or scattered photons that can cause further ionization in matter.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
2. Basic Concepts Of Interaction
Three possible occurrences when x or
gamma photons in the primary beam
pass through matter:
No interaction at all
Known as transmission
Absorption
Scatter
The latter two are methods of attenuation
3. Attenuation
The reduction of x-ray photons as they
pass through matter
Primary radiation – attenuation =
remnant or exit radiation
6. The Five Interactions Of X and
Gamma Rays With Matter
Photoelectric effect
Very important in diagnostic radiology
Compton scatter
Very important in diagnostic radiology
Coherent scatter
Not important in diagnostic or therapeutic
radiology
Pair production
Very important in therapeutic radiology
Photodisintegration
Very important in therapeutic radiology
7. Photoelectric Effect
All of the energy of the incoming photon is
totally transferred to the atom
Following interaction, the photon ceases to exist
The incoming photon interacts with an orbital
electron in an inner shell – usually K
The orbital electron is dislodged
To dislodge the electron, the energy of the
incoming photon must be equal to, or greater
than the electron’s energy
8. Photoelectric Effect
The incoming photon gives up all its energy,
and ceases to exist
The ejected electron is now a photoelectron
This photoelectron now contains the energy
of the incoming photon minus the binding
energy of the electron shell
This photoelectron can interact with other
atoms until all its energy is spent
These interactions result in increased patient
dose, contributing to biological damage
10. Photoelectric Effect
A vacancy now exists in the inner shell
To fill this gap, an electron from an outer shell
drops down to fill the gap
Once the gap is filled, the electron releases
its energy in the form of a characteristic
photon
This process continues, with each electron
emitting characteristic photons, until the atom
is stable
The characteristic photon produces relatively
low energies and is generally absorbed in
tissue
12. The Byproducts of the
Photoelectric Effect
Photoelectrons
Characteristic photons
13. The Probability of Occurrence
Depends on the following:
The energy of the incident photon
The atomic number of the irradiated object
It increases as the photon energy decreases, and
the atomic number of the irradiated object
increases
When the electron is more tightly bound in its orbit
When the incident photon’s energy is more or
close to the binding energy of the orbital electron
This type of interaction is prevalent in the
diagnostic kVp range – 30 - 150
14. What Does This All Mean?
Bones are more likely to absorb radiation
This is why they appear white on the film
Soft tissue allows more radiation to pass
through than bone
These structures will appear gray on the film
Air-containing structures allow more radiation
to pass through
These structures will appear black on the film
15. Compton Scattering
An incoming photon is partially absorbed in
an outer shell electron
The electron absorbs enough energy to break
the binding energy, and is ejected
The ejected electron is now a Compton
electron
Not much energy is needed to eject an
electron from an outer shell
The incoming photon, continues on a different
path with less energy as scattered radiation
17. Byproducts Of Compton
Scatter
Compton scattered electron
Possesses kinetic energy and is capable of
ionizing atoms
Finally recombines with an atom that has an
electron deficiency
Scattered x-ray photon with lower energy
Continues on its way, but in a different direction
It can interact with other atoms, either by
photoelectric or Compton scattering
It may emerge from the patient as scatter
Contributes to radiographer dose
or
Contributes to film fog
18. Probability Of Compton
Scatter Occurring
Increases as the incoming photon energy
increases
More probable at kVp ranges of 100 or
greater
Results:
Most of the scattered radiation produced during a
radiographic procedure
The scatter is isotropic
Sidescatter, backscatter, or small-angle (forward)
19.
20. Coherent Scatter
Occurs at low energies – below 30 kVp
An incoming photon interacts with an atom
The atom vibrates momentarily
Energy is released in the form of an
electromagnetic wave
A combination of these waves form a scatter
wave
The photon changes its direction, but no
energy is transferred
May result in radiographic film fog
21. Pair Production
Does not occur in the diagnostic energy
range
Incoming photon must have an energy of at
least 1.02 MeV
This process is a conversion of energy into
matter and then matter back into energy
Two electrons are produced in this interaction
22. Pair Production
An incoming photon of 1.02 MeV or greater
interacts with the nucleus of an atom
The incoming photon disappears
The transformation of energy results in the
formation of two particles
Negatron
Possesses negative charge
Positron
Possesses a positive charge
24. Positrons
Considered antimatter
Do not exist freely in nature
Cannot exist near matter
Will interact with the first electron they
encounter
An electron and the positron destroy each
other during interaction
Known as the annihilation reaction
This converts matter back into energy
Both the positron and electron disappear
Two gamma photons are released with an
25. Pair Production
The produced gamma photons may
interact with matter through pair
production or Compton scatter
Pair production is used for positron
emission tomography, a nuclear
medicine imaging procedure
It is also used in radiation therapy
26. Photodisintegration
Occurs at above 10 MeV
A high energy photon is absorbed by the
nucleus
The nucleus becomes excited and becomes
radioactive
To become stable, the nucleus emits
negatrons, protons, alpha particles, clusters
of fragments, or gamma rays
These high energy photons are found in
radiation therapy
28. Interactions Of Particulate
Radiation With Matter
Alpha radiation is monoenergetic
Beta particles and positrons are also
monoenergetic
These particles lose energy in the form
of ion pairs
As they pass near or through a neutral
atom, they remove energy through the
force of attraction or repulsion
29. Interactions Of Particulate
Radiation With Matter
Alpha particles
ionize by attracting
an electron from an
atom
Beta particles ionize
by repelling an
electron from an
atom
30. Two Mains Types Of
Particulate Interaction
Elastic interaction
No change in kinetic energy, it is transferred from
one particle to another
Alpa particles colliding with outer shell orbital electrons
Inelastic interaction
The total kinetic energy is changed after the
interaction
Beta particles interacting with inner shell orbital electrons
and slow down
This produces low penetrating secondary radiation
