function [Smw Fmw2] = dens2mstp(dens_ratio)
% DENS2MSTP Convert physical density to mass stopping power and Fmw2
%
% Usage:
%     [Smw Fmw2] = dens2mstp ( density_matrix )
% INPUT:
%     density_matrix = density matrix (g/cm^3) with any dimensionality
% OUTPUT:
%     Smw = stopping power ratio
%     Fmw2 = squared F value ratio to water
%
% Given an array of densities relative to water (assumed to be from a CT
% scan), the mass stopping power ratio (relative to water) array is
% calculated. The conversion is done by assuming that every voxel in the CT
% consists of either air, adipose tissue, muscle, or bone. A lookup table
% of mass stopping power ratios between each material and water is then
% constructed by computing the average mass stopping power ratio over some
% proton energy region, usually between 50 MeV and 250 MeV. The mass
% stopping powers are looked-up in tables obtained from the NIST website.
%
% This code was intended to be used as a way of converting CT
% data to mass stopping power data for proton dose calculations. The energy
% of the proton beam is assumed to be between 50 MeV and 250 MeV, a regime
% in which the approximation that stopping power ratios are energy
% independent holds.
%
% Note that the value returned is the stopping power ratio. The stopping power 
% has units of MeV/cm. This is an important distinction!
