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 …

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

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 …

We investigated the influence of model assumptions in GEANT4 Monte Carlo (MC)
simulations for the calculation of monoenergetic and polyenergetic normalized glandular …

Background Conventional mammography remains the primary imaging modality for state-of-
the-art breast imaging practice and its benefit (both on diagnostic and screening) was …

Purpose To characterize the dependence of normalized glandular dose (DgN) on various
breast model and image acquisition parameters during spot compression mammography …

With the introduction of screening mammography, the mortality rate of breast cancer has
been reduced throughout the last decades. However, many women undergo unnecessary …

Background X‐ray breast imaging modalities are commonly employed for breast cancer
detection, from screening programs to diagnosis. Thus, dosimetry studies are important for …

This work aims at calculating and releasing tabulated values of dose conversion coefficients,
DgN DBT, for mean glandular dose (MGD) estimates in digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) …

We computed normalized glandular dose (DgN) coefficients for mean glandular dose
estimates in contemporary 2D mammography units, taking into account a homogeneous …
