Abstract
In this study the effects of gamma radiations with compounds are an important subject in the field of medicine, radiation shielding and radiation physics. With technological advances the using of radiation has increased in the medicine in the last century. The mass absorpsion coefficient (µ/ρ) is the fundamental a quantity characterizing gamma ray and is of major importance in radiation shielding. In this study, the mass absorption coefficient of painkillers named Ketoprofen, Flurbiprofen, Etodolac, Ibuprofen, Meloxicam, Diclofenac and Aspirin were calculated at energy range from 4.65 keV to 59.543 keV using the WinXCom data programme. In addition total atomic (σta), moleculer (σtm), electronic cross-section (σte), effective atomic number (Zeff), effective electron density (Neff) were calculated.
Highlights
With the increasing use of radiation sources in areas related to human health such as nuclear medicine, radiotherapy and radiology, it was necessary to examine the parameters that are considerable in the interaction of photon with material
The mass absorption coefficient, which is a characteristic feature for materials is a very significant parameter in agriculture, pharmacy, radiation dosimetry, biology, nuclear and radiation physics [3]
The effective atomic number physically enables the characteristic of the compound to be understandable with the help of a single atomic number [5]. μ/ was used to calculate and control the material thickness because radiation can change the characteristics of material
Summary
With the increasing use of radiation sources in areas related to human health such as nuclear medicine, radiotherapy and radiology, it was necessary to examine the parameters that are considerable in the interaction of photon with material. The effects of radiation material interactions at different energies on Zeff and Neff were studied. The elements in the ingredient are considered independent from each other and their interaction with each other is neglected [11] In this present work were calculated the mass attenuation coefficients for some painkiller compounds such as Ketoprofen (C16H14O3), Flurbiprofen (C15H13FO2), Etodolac (C17H21NO3), Ibuprofen (C13H18O2), Meloxicam (C14H13N3O4S2), Diclofenac (C14H11Cl2NO2) and Aspirin (C9H8O4) in the energy range from 4.65 keV to 59.543 keV using the WinXCom data. In the paper, calculated datas were published on the study of mass attenuation coefficient calculate on painkiller compounds in the photon energy 4.65 to 59.543 keV through which radiation interaction of the drug can be defined
