A new mammography dosimetric phantom

Breast phantoms produced with tissue-equivalent materials are used in an attempt to simulate glandular and adipose tissues, in terms of X-ray attenuation and density. In this work, a set of breast tissue-equivalent phantoms (BTE phantoms) with semicircular shapes of different thicknesses and composi...
