Formula for X-ray attenuation along a line inside homogeneous matter
An X-ray with intensity I0 enters a homogeneous physical body.
I0 I1
- ✲
- s
The intensity I1 of the X-ray when it exits the material is
I1 = I0e−µs,
where s is the length of the path of the X-ray inside the body and µ > 0 is X-ray attenuation coefficient.

Formula for X-ray attenuation along a line: Beer-Lambert law
Let f : [a, b] → R be a nonnegative function modelling X-ray attenuation along a line inside a physical body. Beer-Lambert law connects the initial and final intensities: I1 = I0e−
b
a f (x)dx.
We can also write it in the form
− log(I1/I0) = b

f (x)dx,
where I0 is known from calibration and I1 from measurement.
