“…Literatürdeki çalışmalar hem deneysel [6][7][8] hem de hesaplamalı [9,10] değerlendirmelere dayanan μ/ρ ve µ en /ρ değerlerini sağlasa da, bu veri tabanları genellikle belirli enerjilerde ve sınırlı sayıda malzeme için mevcuttur. Dozimetrik olarak anlamlı olan vücut dokuları söz konusu olduğunda ise veriler, NIST gibi çevrimiçi tablolar veya XMUDAT gibi bilgisayar kodlarıyla sınırlıdır [3,11].…”

“…There have been studies in recent years, investigating photon attenuation in the human body organs for different energy ranges of radiation and using different simulation codes (13)(14)(15)(16)(17) . However, a wide energy range of X-rays has been considered in this study to simulate some attenuation characteristics of the body skin, besides the transmission factor of the breast skin which depends on the thickness.…”
