Abstract
Methods, a processor, and a system for improving an accuracy of identification of a substance are described. One of the methods includes determining whether a relative molecular interference function of the substance includes at least one peak.
Claims20
A method for improving an accuracy of identification of a substance, said method comprising determining, using a processor, whether a relative molecular interference function of the substance includes at least one peak, the relative molecular interference function representing a ratio of a molecular interference function of the substance to a molecular interference function of a calibration substance.
A processor configured to determine whether a relative molecular interference function of a substance includes at least one peak, the relative molecular interference function representing a ratio of a molecular interference function of the substance to a molecular interference function of a calibration substance.
A system for improving an accuracy of identification of a substance, said system comprising:
- an X-ray source configured to generate X-rays;
- a detector operatively coupled to said X-ray source, and configured to detect the X-rays and output an electrical signal representative of the detected X-rays;
- and
- a processor coupled to said detector and configured to determine whether a relative molecular interference function of the substance includes at least one peak, the relative molecular interference function representing a ratio of a molecular interference function of the substance to a molecular interference function of a calibration substance.
A method for improving an accuracy of identification of a substance, said method comprising identifying the substance, using a processor, based on a peak variable of a peak of a relative molecular interference function of the substance, the relative molecular interference function representing a ratio of a molecular interference function of the substance to a molecular interference function of a calibration substance.
