The absorbed energy fraction, AF, taken from the breast of an adult woman was calculated for photon energies: 15, 20, 28 an 361 keV, emitted from a source located 20,30, 40 and 50 cm, in front of the breast. AF is estimated by the Monte Carlo method. The fit was obtained using [Formula] where [Formu...

Description
Summary:The absorbed energy fraction, AF, taken from the breast of an adult woman was calculated for photon energies: 15, 20, 28 an 361 keV, emitted from a source located 20,30, 40 and 50 cm, in front of the breast. AF is estimated by the Monte Carlo method. The fit was obtained using [Formula] where [Formula] are dependent only on E and from which their values are determined
