A Monte Carlo model for mean glandular dose evaluation in spot compression mammography

To characterize the dependence of normalized glandular dose (DgN) on various breast model and image acquisition parameters during spot compression mammography and other partial breast irradiation conditions, and evaluate alternative previously proposed dose-related metrics for this breast imaging modality.Using Monte Carlo simulations with both simple homogeneous breast models and patient-specific breasts, three different dose-related metrics...
