Mass Attenuation

The effective atomic number, electron density and mass attenuation coefficient of some selected active pharmaceutical ingredients such as Diclofenac Sodium, Femotidine, Alprazolam, Amiodar, Amiodarone, Ciprofloxacin, and Nimesulide have been calculated over the energy range from 1 keV to 100 GeV for total and partial photon interactions by using WinXCom. The obtained data shows that the change in mass attenuation coefficient and electron density varies with energy and chemical composition of the active pharmaceutical ingredients (API’s) in drugs. The results in the variation of photon interaction with energy and effective atomic number of the API’s in drug are shown in the logarithmic graphs.

Mass Attenuation

In this study have investigated the mass attenuation coefficient and air Kerma of some CT contrast agents and painkiller. The mass attenuation coefficient and air Kerma of Iotrolan, Iodixanol, Iohexol, Ioxilan, Ioversol, Iomeprol, Ketoprofen, Flurbiprofen, Etodolac, İbuprofen, Meloxicam, Diflofenac and Aspirin have been calculated by using WinXCom in the energy range from 1 keV to 1000 keV. The current study would be useful to develop new shielding materials in radiation application fields.
