Technology

Compton (incoherently) scattered photons which are directly proportional to the electron density of the scatterer, have been employed in characterizing Rhizophora spp. as breast tissue equivalent. X-ray fluorescent scattered incoherently from Rhizophora spp. sample was measured using Si-PIN detector and three XRF energy values 15.77, 17.48 and 22.16 key. This study is aimed at providing electron density information in support of the introduction of new tissue substitute materials for mammography phantoms. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
