Abstract

Mass energy absorption coefficients and effective atomic numbers for photon energy absorption, ZPEAeff have been calculated in the energy range from 1 keV to 20 MeV for human tissues, Adipose Tissue, Blood Whole, Bone Cortical, Brain Grey/White Matter, Breast Tissue, Eye Lens, Lung Tissue, Muscle Skeletal, Ovary, Testis, Soft Tissue. Mass energy absorption coefficients and effective atomic numbers for photon energy absorption have also been calculated for commonly used thermoluminescent dosimeters,TLD, in the energy range from 1 keV to 20 MeV. The energy dependence of the mass energy absorption of human tissues and TL dosimeters are shown graphically. The tissue equivalency of TLDs is investigated. The effects of the elemental composition on effective atomic numbers for photon energy absorption and the tissue equivalency of TLDs are discussed.
