title: [Properties of Masonite as phantom material].
abstract: The radiophysical properties of the material "Masonit" are examined by experimental methods. Indications are given as to atomic composition, density, effective atomic number, concentration of electrons, and linear attenuation coefficient. A comparison with water shows that "Masonit" is a suitable phantom material especially for the purposes of radiotherapy.
