Effective radiation attenuation calibration for breast density: compression thickness influences and correction

BACKGROUND: Calibrating mammograms to produce a standardized breast density measurement for breast cancer risk analysis requires an accurate spatial measure of the compressed breast thickness. Thickness inaccuracies due to the nominal system readout value and compression paddle orientation induce un...
