Background. Barium aspiration is one of rare major complication of esophagography. Aspiration pneumonia occurs about 40% without clinical symptom and can cause 30% of dead. Case. A female 62 years old choked a mount of barium when swallowing barium liquid in esophagography procedure. There was ronkhi on lower left haemithorax and granuler pattern on left paracardial impressed the rest of barium in chest x-ray photo. Patient suffered symptom of infection in eight days evaluation with infiltrate and rest of barium from chest x-ray photo. Microbiology examination of bronchus lavage founded pathogen microbe Burcholderia Gladioli and Pseudomonas and containing 1,22 mg/L of barium. Discussion. Barium aspiration can occur in esophagography procedure in extreme age. Chest x-ray and Computed Tomography can be used as primer tool to diagnose and evaluate barium aspiration which imaging hiperdens pattern due to barium with high atomic number (56). Prognosis of aspiration barium can be affected by the quantity and density of barium liquid which is choked and comorbid factor in patient. Barium aspiration mixed with secrete of oropharing which containing colony of pathogen can cause penumonia as disease complication. There is still no guideline for barium aspiration management, but bronchoscopy is recommended by many clinician. Conclusion. Pneumonia occur when aspiration barium mixed with secrete oropharing which containing colony of pathogen. Chest x-ray and CT scan can be used as tool to diagnose barium aspiration. Bronchoscopy is recommended to diagnose and to manage barium aspiration. When pneumonia is suspicious, antibiotic with anaerob activity is recommended given.

Mass Attenuation

The paper describes the X-ray attenuation in materials according to their atomic number, using six different materials from low atomic number to higher atomic number, Iron (Fe-26) as low atomic number, silver (Ag-47), tin (Sn-50), platinum (Pt-78), gold (Au-79) and lead (Pb-82) as high atomic number. Using the data were taken from the NIST Standard Reference Database 126. From the J. H. Hubbell and S. M. Seltzer work, a table of contents was used. Whereas The mass attenuation coefficient for the above six elements was taken and compared with each other.

Increase In Accuracy

The use of polarized x rays as the excitation source for x-ray fluorescence (XRF) measurements has been shown to significantly improve signal-to-background ratios. However, previous studies on polarized x rays applied to XRF techniques have concentrated on low-energy fluoresced x rays (<30 keV). In many cases strong matrix effects exist or the analyte is encased by a material that strongly attenuates low-energy x rays. These situations may preclude accurate assays based on L x-ray detection, and techniques based on the detection of higher energy K x rays may be more suitable because of the increased penetrability of higher energy x rays. The measurements and calculations reported in this work were made to assess the improvement in signal-to-background ratios and the increase in accuracy and detection sensitivity achievable by using polarized x rays as the excitation source for fluoresced x rays having energies between 25 and 110 keV.

Thermal Neutron Beam

A new excitation source has been developed for x-ray emission analysis of high atomic number elements. A mixture of the sample and a small amount of boron-10 is irradiated in a thermal neutron beam and the resultant x radiation is recorded using a Ge(Li) semiconductor detector and a multichannel analyzer. The boron-10 undergoes neutron capture (10B( n,α)7Li, σ = 3840 b) producing a single excited state of lithium-7 in 92.5% of the captures. Lithium-7 m decays with a half-life of about 5×10−14 sec emitting a monoenergic 477 keV gamma ray. These gamma rays are in excellent geometry to the sample and are sufficiently energetic to excite the K x radiation of the highest atomic number elements known. The K x-ray spectra of several elements are presented along with a discussion of sample preparation and apparatus optimization.
