A pilot study of diabetes effects on radiation attenuation characteristics of tibia and femur of rats.
Applied Radiation and Isotopes 2024 March 16
This study aimed to investigate the effect of diabetes on radiation attenuation parameters of the femur and tibia of rats using Monte Carlo Simulations. First, control and diabetic rats were identified and tibias and femurs were removed. Then, the elemental ratios of the bones obtained were calculated using EDS (Energy Dissipative X-ray Spectroscopy). Therefore, radiation permeability properties of control and diabetic bones were simulated by using the content ratios in the bones in MCNP6 (Monte Carlo N-Particle) and PHITS (Particle and Heavy Ion Transport code System) 3.22 and Stopping and Range of Ions in Matter (SRIM) simulation codes. Attenuation coefficient results were compared with the NIST database via XCOM. Although differences in absorption coefficients are observed at low energies, these differences disappear as the energy increases.
