The aim of this study was to determine the suitability of tannin-added Rhizophora spp. particleboards as phantom materials in the application of low- and high-energy photons. The tannin-added Rhizophora spp. particleboards and density plug phantoms were created with a target density of 1.0 g/cm. The elemental composition and effective atomic number of the particleboards were measured using energy dispersive X-ray analysis. The mass attenuation coefficient of the particleboards for low-energy photons were measured using the attenuation of X-ray fluorescence. The mass attenuation coefficients of high-energy photons were measured using the attenuation of Cs and Co gamma energies. The results were compared to the calculated value of water using XCOM calculations. The results showed that the effective atomic number and mass attenuation coefficients of tannin-added Rhizophora spp. particleboards were similar to those of water, indicating the suitability of tannin-added Rhizophora spp. particleboards as phantom materials for low- and high-energy photons.
本研究的目的是确定添加单宁的红树属刨花板作为低能和高能光子应用中体模材料的适用性。添加单宁的红树属刨花板和密度塞体模的目标密度为1.0 g/cm³。使用能量色散X射线分析测量刨花板的元素组成和有效原子序数。使用X射线荧光衰减测量刨花板对低能光子的质量衰减系数。使用Cs和Coγ能量的衰减测量高能光子的质量衰减系数。将结果与使用XCOM计算得出的水的计算值进行比较。结果表明,添加单宁的红树属刨花板的有效原子序数和质量衰减系数与水相似,表明添加单宁的红树属刨花板适用于低能和高能光子的体模材料。
