   Interaction with Matter
   The interaction of X-rays with matter depends significantly on the energy of the photons and the atomic density ($Z$) of the material traversed. Three primary interaction modes dominate the lower-to-mid energy range relevant to diagnostic radiology: the photoelectric effect, Compton scattering, and pair production.
