Calculation of Mass Stopping Power and Range of Protons as Well as Important Radiation Quantities in Some Biological Human Bodyparts (Water, Muscle, Skeletal and Bone, Cortical)
In this work, the electronic
mass stopping power and the range of protons in some biological human body
parts(Water, Muscle,Skeletal and Bone, Cortical)were calculated in the energy
range of protons 0.04 to 200 MeV using the theory of Bethe-Bloch
formula as giving in the references. All these calculations were done usingMatlab program. The data
related to the densities, average atomic number to mass number and excitation energies for the present
tissues and substances were collected from ICRU Report44(1989). The present results
for electronic mass stopping powers and ranges were compared with the data of
PSTAR and good agreements were found between them,especially at energies
between 1-200MeV for stopping power and 4-
