Rose Model of Statistical Detection

In this exercise, we will examine how the Rose Model plays a role in x-ray imaging. We assume a circular object of intensity = 0.5 and enter a value for the object radius and photon fluence rate. Prove to yourself that varying either of these parameters affects your ability to detect the object in the x-ray image.
Enter the radius of the circle (choose a value between 10-99): 

Enter the fluence rate of photons/pixel: 

This may take up to 30 seconds to calculate ... please be patient.
