Measurement of Percentage Depth Dose and Half Value Layer of the Emphasis Type='Italic'Rhizophora/Emphasis spp. Particleboard Bonded by Emphasis Type='Italic'Eremurus/Emphasis spp. to 60, 80 and 100 kVp Diagnostic X-rays

摘要

Some researchers formerly provided the mechanical, physical, and attenuation properties of the fabricated Eremurus – Rhizophora spp. particleboard phantom. In this study, the percentage depth dose (PDD) and the half value layer (HVL) of fabricated Eremurus – Rhizophora spp. particleboard phantom were determined and compared with those of Perspex and water phantoms, with the same standard phantom size (30 cm × 30 cm × 30 cm) in the diagnostic energy range using TLD 100H. In addition, the energy range of X-ray was in diagnostic range of energy. The results indicated that the PDD and HVL of the fabricated Eremurus – Rhizophora spp. particleboard phantom were close to those of the Perspex phantom. Likewise, the PDD and HVL of the fabricated Eremurus – Rhizophora spp. particleboard phantom were found in good agreement with those of water phantom. According to the results of this study, the fabricated Eremurus – Rhizophora spp. particleboard phantom can be used as medical phantoms.
