Effective atomic numbers' (Z(eff)) effective electron density (N-el) for human organs and tissues have been computed in the energy region of 1 keV to 100 GeV using WinXCOM. The computed data of Z(eff) and N-el are tabulated. The computed values are compared with previous results. The computed data of Z(eff) and N-el for almost all tissues (34 tissues of different human organs) in the given energy range are not available in literature and find application in radiotherapy and dosimetry.
