Medicine. Of a substance, for a parallel beam of specified radiation: the quantity micro () in the expression dx for the traction removed by attenuation in passing through a thin layer of thickness dx of that substance. It is a function of the energy of the radiation. As dx is expressed in terms of length, mass per unit area, moles or atoms per unit area, is called the linear, mass, molar, or atomic attenuation coefficient respectively
