Internal breast dosimetry in mammography: Experimental methods and Monte Carlo validation with a monoenergetic x‐ray beam

Purpose To investigate the performance, such as energy dependence and sensitivity, of thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD), metal oxide semiconductor field‐effect transistor dosimeters (MOSFET), and GafChromic™ films, and to validate the estimates of local dose deposition of a Monte Carlo (MC) simulat...
