The radiation risk in mammography is traditionally evaluated using the average glandular
dose. This quantity for the average breast has proven to be useful for population statistics …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the photon field effective energy (Eeff)
distribution and percentage depth‐dose (PDD) within a mammography phantom by the …

In this research project the main goals were a) to implement a method for the computation of
the volumetric breast density (VBD), and b) to propose an improved quantity for the …

Due to variations in amount and distribution of glandular breast tissue among women, the
mean glandular dose (MGD) can be a poor measure of the individual glandular dose …

A method to obtain patient-oriented mean glandular dose (MGD) conversion coefficients for
conventional mammography has been developed. This method has the advantage that can …

Este trabajo presenta una validación preliminar de un código Monte Carlo de transporte de
radiación capaz de simular el transporte en estructuras. El tamaño del campo y la dosis de …

The imparted energy to the glandular tissue in the breast (glandular imparted energy, GIE) is
proposed for an improved assessment of the individual radiation-induced risk resulting from …

Se ha desarrollado un método para determinar la relación entre la densidad óptica de una
placa de mamografía y el grosor del tejido glandular mamario utilizando materiales …

Breast tomosynthesis (BT) is an X-ray imaging technique recently introduced as an
alternative or complement to standard digital mammography (DM) in breast imaging and …
