Non-destructive techniques with X-ray, such as tomography, radiography and X-ray fluorescence are sensitive to the attenuation coefficient and have a large field of applications in medical as well as industrial area [1,2]. In the case of X-ray fluorescence analysis the knowledge of photon X-ray attenuation coefficients provides important information to obtain the elemental concentration. On the...

Introduction: Investigation of radiation interaction with living organs has always been a thrust area in medical and radiation physics. The investigated results are being used in medical physics for developing improved and sensitive techniques and minimizing radiation exposure. In this study, mass attenuation coefficients of different human organs and biological materials such as adipose, blood...

The linear attenuation coefficient (LAC) and mass (MAC) are most important while studying of radiation, radio-isotopes in dosimentry irradiation materials. In the present work to calculate values different salts samples by using Gamma-ray spectrometry with Photo-Multiplier Tube (PMT) Multi-Channel Analyzer (MCA). 0.123, 0.511, 0.662, 1.17, 1.28 1.33MeV gamma energy rays used for experiment inte...

A liquid has been developed that mimics soft tissue in terms of propagation speed, attenuation, and nonlinearity parameter B/A. Since the slope of the attenuation coefficient is nearly constant up to at least 18 MHz and the value can be anywhere in the range 0.1 through 0.7 dB/(cm MHz), the material is ideal for assessing the effectiveness of attenuation derating of output acoustic intensities ...

Measurements of attenuation anisotropy can provide valuable information for reservoir characterization and monitoring. Here, we analyze cross-hole data generated by perforation shots fired in a horizontal borehole to induce hydraulic fracturing in a tight gas reservoir. The spectral-ratio method is applied to pairs of traces to set up a system of equations for directionally-dependent effective ...

We demonstrate a new analytical X-ray computed tomography technique for visualizing and quantifying the mass density of materials comprised of low atomic number elements with unknown atomic ratios. The mass density was obtained from the experimentally observed ratio of the imaginary and real parts of the complex X-ray refractive index. An empirical linear relationship between the X-ray mass att...
