As the lead engineer for a development team, you have to make a decision on what components to use for a new x-ray imaging system, which is going to be sold to the military for field use. The system is to be transportable and will provide digital x-ray images of injured body parts. Your team has evaluated the following components, and they all fulfill the military ruggedness specifications:

Xray tube with generator

Voltage Range

Max. Anode Current

Cost

Model A

20-80 kVp

25 mA

$15,000

Model B

30-120 kVp

40 mA

$20,000

Digital Image Receptor

Peak Sensitivity

Required Exposure

Cost

Imager 1

60 keV

250 mR

$20,000

Imager 2

80 keV

150 mR

$30,000

Imager 3

100 keV

70 mR

$40,000

Considering all you know about the energy dependence of x-ray attenuation, image contrast and image noise, and also considering the patient welfare and marketability of your final product, identify the x-ray-tube/generator and imager that will be part of the final system and justify your choice. Provide your answer in typed form, double spaced, 150-200 words.
