To establish credibility for the use of the Slater determinant harmonic oscillator (SDHO) density in predicting root-mean-square proton and neutron radii for Be, B, C, N, O, and F isotopes [M. Imran et al., {\color{blue}Phys. Rev. C {\bf 110}, 014623 (2024)}], in this work we propose to study charge-changing and interaction cross sections for the said isotopes on $^{12}$C at a wider range of incident energies (200-1050 MeV/nucleon), involving different density distributions; the calculations also assess the importance of nuclear medium effects. Working within the framework of the Glauber model, we involve two-parameter Fermi (2pF) and three-parameter Fermi (3pF) shapes of density distributions, and use the in-medium as well as free behavior of the nucleon-nucleon (NN) amplitude. The results provide enough basis to support the matter radii of exotic isotopes obtained using SDHO densities.
