X- ray absorption parameters studies of P2O5- SnCl2-SnO bioactive glass system

The main objective of this work is to explore the X-ray interaction properties of P2O5- SnCl2-SnO bioactive glass system using Photon Shielding and Dosimetry (Phys-X/PSD) software in the energy range 10–150 keV. The study of these parameters will have applications in various fields of nuclear medicine, medical technology, and other medical applications. The value of mass attenuation coefficients (μm) and effective atomic numbers (Zeff) decrease whereas the value of mean free path as well as half value layer increases with rises in energy in the selected energy range. The study results indicate that bioactive glass composition of T2 of chemical composition (35P2O5- 55SnCl2-10SnO) possesses the lowest value of mean free path (MFP), and highest value of μm, and Zeff, among the chemical composition.
