Abstract

The suitability of introducing molecular interference effects into coherent scattering phenomenology is considered here in the case of X and gamma photon transport in biological tissues. In order to make its implementation practicable in most of the existing open user Monte Carlo codes, a self-consistent basic set of tabulations for the linear differential scattering coefficient was proposed. The tabulations were critically reviewed by testing their validity over the entire range of the momentum transfer variable from 0 to 1010 nm-1. Implementation in three different Monte Carlo codes was performed, and they proved to be reliable.
