x-ray spectra calculation for different target-filter of mammograms using mcnp code
Authors
abstract
abstractbackground: an electron beam generated x-ray spectrum consists of characteristic x-ray and continuous bermsstrahlung. the aim of this research is calculating and comparing x-ray spectra for different target filter of mammograms. materials and methods: monte carlo is a very powerful tool to simulate a series of different target-filter assembly in order to calculate the x-ray spectra. mcnp version 4c has been used for simulation set up to calculate x-ray spectra for different target-filter combination of mammograms. results: the spectra of different and the most commonly used target– filter in mammography equipments (mo-mo, mo-rh, rh-rh, w-rh, mo-al and rh-al) have been calculated. conclusion: the computational results can be used to select a suitable x-ray spectrum for mammography as well as for computing the absorbed dose. also, the monte carlo result of mo-mo is in good agreement with the published results.

Mammography is one of the most important imaging techniques to diagnose breast cancer. It is perhaps the single most important innovation in breast cancer control. The importance of mammography is directly related to its value in the early detection and management of breast cancer. Mammography detects approximately 2-3 times as many early breast cancers as physical exams. Breast cancer is the s...

conclusion by comparing the results, we saw that w/rh anode/filter combination is the best choice in breast mammography imaging because of the lowest delivered dose in comparison with w/ag and rh/al. moreover, breast thickness and g value have significant effects on mgd. objectives the aim of this study was to determine the average absorbed dose of x-ray radiation in the glandular tissue of the...

BACKGROUND X-ray mammography is one of the general methods for early detection of breast cancer. Since glandular tissue in the breast is sensitive to radiation and it increases the risk of cancer, the given dose to the patient is very important in mammography. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the average absorbed dose of X-ray radiation in the glandular tissue of the breast d...
