[Gate-users] is muscle tissue already mixed with water?

[Andreas Duschl]

Hi Gaters,

 

I would like to create a phantom which also contains muscle tissue. So my
question is: do I have to mix muscle as appears in the material database
with water to get a realistic phantom or is this already considered?

 

I also defined the material collagen like this:

 

Collagen: d=1.3g/cm3; n=4; state=Solid

                +el: name=Carbon; n=23

                +el: name=Hydrogen; n=30

                +el: name=Nitrogen; n=4

                +el:name=Oxygen; n=4

 

In this case in order to get a more or less realistic model of tendon I
think I have to do something like this:

 

Tendon: d=.. g/cm3 ; n=..

                 +mat: name=Water ; f=


                +mat:name=Collagen;f=


                 
.

             

 

thank you

 

Andreas
