Updated breast CT dose coefficients (DgNCT) using patient‐derived breast shapes and heterogeneous fibroglandular distributions

Purpose The purpose of this work was to generate uncompressed heterogeneous breast phantom models using size‐dependent fibroglandular distributions derived from a large cohort of breast CT (bCT) datasets, and to compare differences in normalized glandular dose coefficients for bCT “DgNCT” when the r...
