15CT-3331 BOW-TIE X-RAY FILTER ASSEMBLY FOR DUAL ENERGY TOMOGRAPHY Abstract of the Disclosure A polymer attenuation filter in a CT machine is mounted at its center and allowed to expand freely at its ends to prevent cracking of the filter as it expands with temperature and after it becomes brittle with x-ray exposure. Vertical expansion of the filter at its center is accommodated by a stress relief hole cut between the center fastening points. Relatively greater horizontal expansion is accommodated by means of spring clamping. Difference in expansion between a metallic strip filter and its support is accommodated by tightly affixing the ends of the filter to the support so that the metallic strip is always under tension and cannot buckle.
