Description
In the present study, we are calculating the mass attenuation coefficient and mass absorption coefficient of various biocompatible metals in ICRU-44 Breast tissues. We are choosing five biocompatible metals such as Gold, platinum, Hafnium, Gadolinium and silver. WinXCOM database are used to generate the mass attenuation and mass absorption coefficient of metal and ICRU 44 Breast tissue over the energy range of 1 KeV to 20 MeV. Simple additivity is used to calculate the coefficient at 0.1% of metal and 0.9% of Breast tissue component
