Abstract
The photon interactions with the soft tissue have been discussed mainly in terms of mass attenuation coefficient, mass energy absorption coefficient, kerma relative to air, effective atomic number and energy absorption buildup factor in the energy range 0.01–10 MeV and penetration depth up to 40 mfp (by using GP fitting method). Over past 2 decades, interest has been growing for theoretical and computational works on photon buildup factor in soft tissue. Actually, besides dosimetry, in radiation therapy and imaging the buildup of X- and gamma photons introduces remarkable error.
