Abstract
Radiation effects on silicone gel and dose distribution of radiation through mammary prostheses were studied, with the following results: Silicone gel behaves like tissue. Half value thickness for silicone gel and water are almost the same (within experimental margin for error). Linear absorption coefficient for silicone gel and water are comparable (within experimental margin for error).Keywords
