Abstract Geometric progression fitting method was used for the computation of the gamma-ray EABF of eleven tissue equivalent materials and nine human organs and tissues up to energy 3 MeV. Quantitative comparison of photon absorption and scattering properties of tissue-equivalent materials was performed with that of human organs and tissues. The variations of equivalent atomic number and the buildup factors of the tissue/equivalent materials indicate which material can be used to substitute for different human tissues in phantom construction.
