Investigation of radiation attenuation parameters of some drugs used in Chemotherapy in Wide Energy Region
Journal Title: Journal of Radiology and Oncology - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study is to compute the radiation attenuation parameters such as mass attenuation coefficient, linear attenuation coefficient, half value layer, mean free path, and effective atomic number for some selected chemotherapy drugs such as Lomustine, Cisplatin, Carmustine, and Chlorambucil in the energy range from 1 keV to 100 GeV.
