Breast phantoms are a fundamental asset both in routine quality assurance programs and
for comparing scanner performance in 2D and 3D x-ray breast imaging. They also play an …

Purpose To present a dataset of computational digital breast phantoms derived from high‐
resolution three‐dimensional (3D) clinical breast images for the use in virtual clinical trials in …

Purpose We present the development and the current state of the MaXIMA Breast Lesions
Models Database, which is intended to provide researchers with both segmented and …

Currently, there are multiple breast dosimetry estimation methods for mammography and its
variants in use throughout the world. This fact alone introduces uncertainty, since it is often …

Virtual clinical trials (VCT) are in-silico reproductions of medical examinations, which adopt
digital models of patients and simulated devices. They are intended to produce clinically …

Abstract Purpose To compare, via Monte Carlo simulations, homogeneous and non-
homogenous breast models adopted for mean glandular dose (MGD) estimates in …

Purpose To evaluate the bias to the mean glandular dose (MGD) estimates introduced by
the homogeneous breast models in digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and to have an …

The virtual image system is a key component of virtual clinical trials (VCTs) which can be
utilized to evaluate and improve medical imaging devices. The main limitation of VCTs in the …

Purpose To provide mean glandular dose (MGD) estimates via Monte Carlo (MC)
simulations as a function of the breast models and scan parameters in mammography …

Purpose In cone-beam computed tomography dedicated to the breast (BCT), the mean
glandular dose (MGD) is the dose metric of reference, evaluated from the measured air …
