The authors propose a technique for tissue characterization based on the measurement of Compton scatering distribution obtained in backscattering geometry. Such a technique shows useful when the coherent peak is not easily detectabel and measurable as in the in vivo applications where the measurement time needs to be as short as possible. Furthermore this study shows that the Compton profile techniques can be used for tissue characterization in some situations as those, for instance, of in vivo x-ray fluorescence analysis of heavy metals.
