The effective atomic number of dosimetric gels

open access: yesAustralasian Physics & Engineering Sciences in Medicine, 2008
Radiological properties of gel dosimeters and phantom materials are often compared against each other and against water or tissue by consideration parameters including their effective atomic number, Zeff. Effective atomic numbers have been calculated for a range of ferrous-sulphate and polymeric gel dosimeters using mass attenuation coefficient data ...

X-ray energies for effective atomic number determination

Neuroradiology, 1976
The measurement of the effective atomic number of a piece of material in vivo can be achieved using computed tomography. The precision of measurement of this parameter depends on the precision of measurement of the X-ray absorption coefficient at two energies and the separation of these energies.

Effective atomic number and electron density of marble concrete

Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry, 2012
The effective atomic numbers (Z eff) and effective electron density (N e) of different type concrete have been measured and the results were compared with the calculation obtained using the mass attenuation coefficients (μ/ρ) obtained via XCOM in the photon energy range of 1 keV–100 GeV.

Concept of effective atomic number and effective mass density in dual-energy X-ray computed tomography

open access: yesNuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research B, 2014
International audienceThis paper focuses on dual-energy X-ray computed tomography and especially the decomposition of the measured attenuation coefficient in a mass density and atomic number basis. In particular, the concept of effective atomic number is

Calculations of effective atomic number

Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 2007
We will present and discuss effective atomic number (Zeff) obtained by different methods of calculations. There is no unique relation between computed values. This observation led us to the conclusion that any Zeff is valid only for given process. We will compare Zeff obtained by following methods: 1. Variational method (Slater), 2.

The effective atomic number of mix D

The British Journal of Radiology, 1979
It is well known that mix D, which was introduced by Jones and Raine (1949), has been widely used as a phantom material for photons and electrons in radiotherapy. By adding fillers of magnesium oxide and tianium dioxide to wax, they made an improvement for mix D compared with wax alone in terms of mechanical properties and the attenuation ...
