CUSTIDIANO, Ernesto R e VALENZUELA, Mercedes R. CALCULATION OF THE EFFECTIVE ATOMIC NUMBER PARTIAL AND TOTAL OF HEALTHY AND MALIGNANT BREAST TISSUES. Rev. ing. biomed. [online]. 2013, vol.7, n.14, pp.24-29. ISSN 1909-9762.
We calculated effective atomic numbers partial of healthy and malignant breast tissues, using WinXcom software and database, in the energy range 10 keV ≤ E ≤ 500 keV. Calculations corresponding to the relevant microscopic processes involved, show that is possible describe and differentiate healthy and malignant breast tissues each other using partial effective atomic numbers.
