Backscatter factors for mammography calculated with Monte Carlo methods.
Phys. Med. Biol. 46, 771-781 (2001)
The objective of this study is to establish a comprehensive set of backscatter factors for mammography based on the exposure model proposed by the European Protocol on Dosimetry in Mammography. The Monte Carlo calculated backscatter factors (BSFs) presented in this study are for various exposure conditions encountered in mammographic practice as well as in calibration procedures. The data demonstrate the variation of the BSF as a function of the exposure parameters, hence enabling a better match with calibration conditions and, at the same time, reviewing the BSF data already recommended by the European Protocol. Furthermore, earlier data for BSF for general diagnostic radiology are validated.
