Table 5 Normalization regression parameters. This gives the logarithmic response curve fitted parameter Molybdenum/Molybdenum (Mo/Mo) distribution quantities for both tissue types using the beam-current readout normalization (mAs). Acquisition mAs system values are indicated by the subscript of the left column entries.
