Abstract

Abstract To research the improvements of clinical imaging of human tissues, tissue-equivalent materials are one of the reasonable strategies for evaluating the impact of radiation dosages on human tissues. Hence, considering mass and linear attenuation coefficients is a promising method to foresee the appropriate tissue-identical material. In this examination, we utilise the built-up estimations of elemental compositions (mass portion of every component) of PMMA material by numerous analyses in literature. XCOM program was utilised to figure estimations of mass attenuation coefficients of PMMA for various photon energies (0.015–2.0) MeV. The outcomes reveal that the estimations of mass and linear attenuation coefficients are high as the energies begin to decrease and diminish gradually with an expansion in photon energies. Making a sensible coordinating between mass and linear attenuation coefficients of PMMA as human tissue-equivalent material with mass and linear attenuation coefficients of lung, brain, muscle and blood human tissues has demonstrated a phenomenal match.
