Abstract
The impact of medical imaging in health services is increasing day by day. In this way, diseases can be diagnosed earlier and treatments can be carried out more effectively. As the use of medical imaging goes beyond diagnosis and reaches the areas of disease prevention and treatment, the costs of healthcare services on a global scale are also significantly reduced. In this study, radiation shielding properties of drugs such as C23H30GdN3O11 (Gadoxetic acid), C28H54GdN5O20 (Gadopentetic acid) and C20H12O5 (Fluorescein) used in imaging have been investigated. These radiation parameters include linear and mass attenuation coefficients (LAC, MAC), half and tenth value layers (HVL, TVL), mean free path (MFP), effective atomic number and electron density (Zeff, Neff) and effective conductivity (Ceff) energy by using Phy-X software. These data have been generated for 1 keV to 2 MeV energy region. According to the data obtained, it was seen that the data scattered up to 100 keV were compatible with each other after this energy value.
