Abstract
The number of hospitals in Iraq has increased during the recent period due to the many wars that Iraq entered, which led to the poor health status of many regions, many of the advanced devices depend on ionizing radiation for diagnosis and treatment, on the other hand, the use of radiation has been increased day by day according to the development of technology. Linear attenuation coefficients were calculated in two methods (practically and compared with Xcom online calculation methods), depending on these results, adding Magnetite Aggregate Concretes will have a positive effect on the density of the final compound, which leads to better absorption and better attenuator values for gamma emitter, it can be concluded that Magnetite Aggregate Concretes attenuators considered a good shielding for both low and very high photon energies where photoelectric and pair production effects are dominant, respectively.
