Abstract

Theoretical data of external Bremsstrahlung (EB) radiation cross section of bone is estimated using tabulated results of EB cross section given for various elements at various photon and electron energies. This data may be useful in the analysis of Bremsstrahlung imaging which is the technique applied in medical therapy.
