Journal ArticleDOI
Additional factors for the estimation of mean glandular breast dose using the UK mammography dosimetry protocol
TL;DR: The UK and European protocols for mammographic dosimetry use conversion factors that relate incident air kerma to the mean glandular dose (MGD) within the breast as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monte Carlo calculation of conversion factors for the estimation of mean glandular breast dose.
TL;DR: The IPSM report on the commissioning and routine testing of mammographic x-ray systems recommends that breast dose be specified as the mean dose to the glandular tissues within the breast and gives the size and compositions of a standard breast phantom for the comparison of doses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Further factors for the estimation of mean glandular dose using the United Kingdom, European and IAEA breast dosimetry protocols.
TL;DR: A Monte Carlo computer program has been used to calculate s-factors for mammography using a tungsten target with silver filters of thicknesses 50-75 microm and for the same target filtered with 0.5 mm aluminium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation of mean glandular dose for breast tomosynthesis: factors for use with the UK, European and IAEA breast dosimetry protocols.
TL;DR: 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 conventional projection mammography, and introduces t-factors for the calculation of breast dose from a single projection and T-factor for a complete exposure series.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of anode/filter material and tube potential on contrast, signal-to-noise ratio and average absorbed dose in mammography: a Monte Carlo study.

TL;DR: It is concluded that for screen-film mammography, molybdenum/molyb denum is the spectrum of choice for all but the thickest or most glandular breasts and tungsten/rhodium or rhodium/aluminium spectra provide the lowest doses at greater thicknesses.
