Photon mass attenuation coefficients, effective atomic numbers, CT numbers and density profiles of cured DSF-SPC-based Rhizophora spp. particleboard phantoms coupled with NaOH/IA-PAE at different concentrations

Rhizophora spp. (R. spp.) particleboard phantoms based on defatted soy flour and soy protein concentrate were fabricated using itaconic acid polyamidoamine-epichlorohydrin (IA-PAE) at different concentrations with the incorporation of NaOH. The results showed that the mass attenuation coefficients a...

Summary:Rhizophora spp. (R. spp.) particleboard phantoms based on defatted soy flour and soy protein concentrate were fabricated using itaconic acid polyamidoamine-epichlorohydrin (IA-PAE) at different concentrations with the incorporation of NaOH. The results showed that the mass attenuation coefficients and effective atomic numbers of the particleboard phantoms at 16.59-25.26 keV photon energies were in good agreement within 0.88% and 0.01% of the XCOM values in water with p-values of 0.072 and 0.075. In addition, DSF-SPC-R. spp. phantom with 15 wt% IA-PAE content shows the nearest CT numbers, electron density, and density profiles to water substitutes at three CT energies. These results indicate the suitability of cured DSF-SPC-R. spp. particleboards as phantom materials for the selected X-ray energies.
