[ 1 ] - Monte Carlo Study of Several Concrete Shielding Materials Containing Galena and Borated Minerals

Introduction: The heavyweight concretes have been widely used for constructing medical or industrial radiation facilities with photon sources. Materials and Methods: In this study, heavy concretes containing galena (PbS) and several borated minerals are proposed as suitable materials against photons. The shielding properties of 21 galena concretes containing seven borated minerals with three m...

[ 2 ] - Assessment of the Radiation Attenuation Properties of Several Lead Free Composites by Monte Carlo Simulation

Background:In diagnostic radiology lead apron, are usually used to protect patients and radiology staff against ionizing radiation. Lead apron is a desirable shield due to high absorption and effective attenuation of x-ray photons in the diagnostic radiology range.Objective: Although lead aprons have good radiation protection properties, in recent years, researchers have been looking for altern...
