The estimation of the mean glandular dose to the breast (MGD) for x-ray based imaging
modalities forms an essential part of quality control and is needed for risk estimation and for …

Anthropomorphic breast phantoms are both, computational and physical, anatomically and
radiologically realistic models of the human female breast, and are considered an excellent …

Abstract The United Kingdom, European and IAEA protocols for breast dosimetry in
mammography make use of s-factors which allow for the use of different target/filter …

A formalism is proposed for the estimation of mean glandular dose for breast tomosynthesis,
which is a simple extension of the UK, European and IAEA protocols for dosimetry in …

Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) has become a well-established breast imaging
technique, whose performance has been investigated in many clinical studies, including a …

Virtual clinical trials (VCTs) can be used to evaluate and optimise medical imaging systems.
VCTs are based on computer simulations of human anatomy, imaging modalities and image …

Purpose: To compare the estimate of normalized glandular dose in mammography and
breast CT imaging obtained using the actual glandular tissue distribution in the breast to that …

This review covers the role of medical physics in addressing issues directly related to patient
dosimetry in radiography, fluoroscopy, mammography, and CT. The sections on radiography …

Purpose: Current dosimetry methods in mammography assume that the breast is comprised
of a homogeneous mixture of glandular and adipose tissues. Three‐dimensional (3D) …

For the evaluation of the average glandular dose (AGD) in digital mammography (DM) and
digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) phantoms simulating standard model breasts are used …
