Generate spectrum for x-ray #23

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Hello,

I am trying to simulated X-ray spectra of 28 kV with filtering for a study on 
mammography. I am encountering a few difficulties with the tools that I have 
available so I am looking for a already made spectrum. In the spectrum files 
that came with MCGPU it says that the source is IPEM Report 78. I want to ask 
you if you have an idea if this will be helpful for me (I could not find an 
abstract or resume of the content). Thank for your help.

There are many publications and software that can provide a mammographic x-ray 
spectra.
This article contains some useful references: 
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17654920
John Boone has also published multiple datasets and surprisingly there is even 
an app based on his work 
(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.donnelly.mammographyspectra).
The IPEM Report 78 contains software to generate the spectra but I don't know 
if it is available for free.

You can google "Simulation of X-ray Spectra" to get some links to other 
software to simulate spectra.

Best regards!
