Determination of Mass Attenuation Coefficient for some Technetium-99m Compounds

摘要

Mass attenuation is a measure of the average number of interaction between incident photons and the matter that occur in a given mass per unit area thickness of the substance.Hence,the importance of mass attenuation coefficient is found in different fields viz.,radiation shielding,medical fields,aeronautical engineering,photon transport,space research,military,security checking purposes(most important now-a-days),and research and development,etc.Hence,in view of the above applications this mass attenuation coefficient is estimated by WinXCom program which is the successor of program Xcom for the technetium-99m compounds such as mebrofenin,disofenin,lidofenin,bisicate,and exametazime for the photon energy range from 8 to 32 keV.
