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 …

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 …

Background Understanding the magnitude and variability of the radiation dose absorbed by
the breast fibroglandular tissue during mammography and digital breast tomosynthesis …

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

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

The two-dimensional nature of mammography makes estimation of the overall breast density
challenging, and estimation of the true patient-specific radiation dose impossible. Digital …

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 …

The radiation dose involved in any medical imaging modality that uses ionizing radiation
needs to be well understood by the medical physics and clinical community. This is …
