Average absorbed breast dose (2ABD): an easy radiation dose index for digital breast tomosynthesis

Abstract Background To propose a practical and simple method to individually evaluate the average absorbed dose for digital breast tomosynthesis. Methods The method is based on the estimate of incident air kerma (k a,i ) on the breast surface. An analytical model was developed to calculate the k a,i...
